The revolutionary IhOTD_HMSCMote system revolutionizes the way hydraulic oil health is monitored and managed in multi-station cold chamber die-casting machines. It includes a network of sensors, including as the temperature, liquid velocity, and NAS sensors, which are placed strategically inside the machinery to track important variables pertaining to the condition of the hydraulic oil and machine performance. These sensors collect data on the temperature, viscosity, and flow rate of the hydraulic fluid continuously. A Raspberry Pi processor processes this data. Acting as the central hub, it allows data collection, analysis, and transmission to the cloud server for additional processing. Integrating with a GSM modem creates a dependable link to the customized cloud server, guaranteeing smooth real-time data transfer. Once the data reaches the cloud server, it is analyzed using preset algorithms created especially for the purpose of monitoring the status of hydraulic oil.
These algorithms assess the collected data in order to identify patterns, irregularities, and possible problems such as hydraulic oil contamination or deterioration. The results of the analysis are displayed via a number of platforms, such as an HMI Display in the production plant and an easy-to-use web dashboard that can be accessed from a distance with an account login. Through trending data charts and real-time machine performance updates, operators can keep an eye on the health of their hydraulic oil. When critical events occur, including large departures from standard operating parameters or approaching mechanical problems, the system sounds an alert to quickly alert operators and appropriate authorities. These alerts are distributed by email notifications among other channels, guaranteeing a prompt and effective reaction to any possible problems.
