Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to online hydraulic oil condition monitoring innovation for portal milling machine in aerospace parts manufacturing.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This innovative device monitors the hydraulic oil conditions in portal milling machines in real time, revolutionizing the workflow in aerospace manufacturing. With the help of a network of well-placed sensors, the system reliably collects vital information on temperature, pressure, velocity, and viscosity of oil. This data is easily sent to a specialized cloud server, where it is continuously analyzed over time by a pre-programmed machine learning algorithm. The results are then shown on an intuitive web dashboard, giving remote staff and on-site operators a comprehensive picture of the state of the hydraulic system.
This innovation tackles the issue of inadequate real-time and comprehensive monitoring systems for hydraulic oil conditions in portal milling machines employed in the manufacturing of aerospace parts. Historically, monitoring hydraulic systems has been a difficult undertaking, frequently relying on intermittent manual inspections or a restricted number of sensors. This method introduces a notable risk of neglecting crucial issues, resulting in unforeseen machine breakdowns, heightened downtime, and potential harm to expensive aerospace components. The absence of an advanced monitoring solution further impedes the capacity to detect subtle alterations in hydraulic oil conditions, essential indicators of imminent problems.

In the meantime, the GSM modem ensures the dependability of data transmission by acting as a backup or other communication channel in the event of WiFi problems. Both connection routes are essential for transmitting the gathered data to a cloud server created especially for this invention. A specified machine learning algorithm analyzes the data in the cloud server. The hydraulic oil's state is assessed over time by this algorithm, which looks for patterns and variances that can indicate possible problems. A customized web dashboard and a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) display are the two main interfaces used to display the analysis's findings. Real-time monitoring of hydraulic oil conditions is made possible by the HMI display, which provides operators on-site with instant access to vital information. Simultaneously, the personalized online dashboard offers a distant interface that can be accessed via user credentials. It showcases extensive data visualizations, time and date recording, and crucial notifications for any detected inconsistencies. Operators can check the data, receive email notifications, log in to their accounts, and take appropriate action depending on the insights offered.
