Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to plugin add-on device for flow monitoring, control, and health prediction with recommendations in industrial carbonated beverage filling machines using nrf and xbee multi-private network gateway.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The novel device is a plug-in variant which improves, regulates and conducts predictive maintenance of the industrial equipment used for filling carbonated beverages. The system implements a distributed multi-node architecture for networked acquisition, processing, and communication in real-time. Key measures like flow, current, temperature, and vibrations are monitored to facilitate the control and safeguard the equipment from defects at an early stage. The data serves the system and is relayed to the specific cloud containing advanced analytics and monitoring technologies based on machine learning and artificial intelligence, able to offer practical suggestions and suggest where problems will occur. The solution is presented using a simple interface of a touch display and a web dashboard that allows the operators and other authorized users to have real-time operational views, performance forecasts and maintenance notifications to reduce downtime and improve operational flexibility.

This innovation closes the gap by facilitating real time tracking of critical machine parameters, predicting possible failures, and providing recommendations using artificial intelligence. This system provides a safe approach to beverage filling by reducing the risk of unplanned machine failures, enhancing equipment utilization and reducing maintenance expenses, thus improving performance and reliability of the process.
