Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to SX1278 and IoT Methodology for Enhanced Control and Feedback in Vertical Wrapping Machine used in Paper Industry
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The matter under consideration pertains to the need for efficient control and monitoring systems specifically designed for Vertical Wrapping Machines utilized in the paper sector. Currently, there may be shortcomings in the real-time monitoring features, accessibility, and adaptability of the available control systems. This deficiency may cause production halts and inefficiencies in the manufacturing operations.
US11731793B2 - A method, apparatus and program product perform automatic load profiling to optimize a wrapping operation performed with a stretch wrapping machine. Automatic load profiling may be performed, for example, to determine a density parameter for a load that is indicative of load stability such that one or more control parameters may be configured for a wrapping operation based upon the density parameter. Automatic load profiling may also be performed, for example, to detect a load with a nonstandard top layer, e.g., a load with a top or slip sheet, a load with an easily deformable top layer, a load with a ragged top surface topography and/or a load with an inboard portion, such that a top layer containment operation may be activated during wrapping to optimize containment for the load.
Research Gap: A Wireless method to control Vertical Wrapping Machine using SX1278 RF and IoT Technology is the novelty of the system.
US11548672B2 - The film sealing and wrapping machine with a rotary cut and seal jaw is provided. The rotary cut and seal jaw has an internal sliding mechanism which provides for smooth and quiet operation. The rotational speed of the jaw may be varied to increase throughput and to provide for a title bag around products. The rotary cut and seal jaw may comprise a seal bar and pressure pad, both spring-loaded to self-align the seal bar and pressure pad during the sealing and cutting process. Lastly, a gap defined by a belt disposed upstream and downstream of the seal bar and pressure pad may be mechanically linked to the pressure pad through a control carriage.

With this development, the paper industry's ability to regulate and monitor Vertical Wrapping Machines has advanced significantly. Using the STM8 Board as its primary processing unit, the SIMTD_VWMote serves as a basic remote control tool for the VWM. By utilizing the SX1278 RF Module, wireless communication may be established between the VWM and the remote control, allowing for orders such as turning the machine on or off. A Single Channel Relay is also incorporated to improve operational effectiveness by providing effective control over the machine's power supply. User experience and operational clarity are enhanced when successful command execution is confirmed by auditory feedback through a buzzer. Conversely, the SIMRD_VWMote offers an even more sophisticated control system by combining internet connectivity and IoT technology. It makes use of the STM8 Board and SX1278 RF Module for wireless connection with the VWM, just like the SIMTD_VWMote. On the other hand, it also has the NuttyFiWifi Module, which allows internet access.
With a customized keypad on the remote device that lets operators enter commands directly, this connectivity opens up possibilities for remote control and monitoring and provides a practical substitute for RF communication. Additionally, an indicator makes sure operators are always aware of the VWM's state by giving them visual input on its status. The SIMRD_VWMote's integration with IoT-based cloud technology is one of its most notable features. Through an internet connection, the remote device communicates with a customized Cloud Web Dashboard, serving as a centralized control center that can be accessed from any location with internet connectivity. Through the intuitive dashboard interface, operators and authorized workers can remotely check the status of the VWM and issue commands. This improves convenience and allows for real-time troubleshooting and decision-making, which in turn increases operational efficiency and reduces downtime.
