This invention offers a comprehensive method for controlling and monitoring temperature in the production of plastic enclosures. Its base is a complex network of sensors, CPUs, and communication modules that operate in unison to collect, process, and send data in real time. The STM32 Processor Board, the device's primary processing unit, acts as the hub, coordinating the functions of all the other parts. It oversees the collection of data from the MLX90614 Temperature sensor, which records the pressure forming machine's operating temperature continually and sends the information to the processor for analysis.
Concurrently, the Ultrasonic Sensor is employed to identify the pressure forming machine's existence. It only starts the monitoring procedure when the machine is in action, guaranteeing that data is only collected when required. Furthermore, the RTC Module precisely timestamps the data, making it possible to follow temperature variations over time. The temperature data is sent over the GSM modem to a specially designed cloud server after being gathered and processed by the STM32 device. By establishing an internet connection, this communication module makes it easier to transfer data to the cloud-based platform, which is made especially to receive, store, and analyze temperature data in real-time.
Additionally, the relay unit is essential to operational safety. When the MLX90614 sensor detects overheating, the relay unit shuts down the pressure forming machine. This minimizes the risk of overheating by averting potential damage to the equipment or the items being made. Moreover, the invention includes a user interface element consisting of a local online dashboard and an HMI Display. Via these interfaces, operators can see temperature data, trend analysis, and real-time alarms. Operators can access the customized web dashboard, which gives them detailed information about the machine's temperature status and notifies them of any overheating events, by logging into their accounts online.
