The CLDCCHMote invention ensures accurate management and monitoring of a Cold Chamber Horizontal Die-Casting Machine by utilizing an integrated system of hardware and software components. The Raspberry Pi Processor Board, which serves as the system's central processing unit and coordinates communication and data gathering, is at its heart. Important modules such as an SD card module for data storage, an RTC module for precise time tracking, a GSM modem for remote connectivity, and a temperature sensor to keep track of the machine's operational temperature are all connected to this board. The Cold Chamber Horizontal Die-Casting Machine's temperature is continuously monitored by the Temperature Sensor, and the Raspberry Pi processes the real-time data. The Raspberry Pi initiates an autonomous shutdown mechanism called the Actuator when the temperature rises above predetermined thresholds. This guarantees that the machine will stop quickly when it needs to in order to avoid damage or deviate from ideal operating conditions.
The GSM Modem transmits the gathered data, as well as any shutdown events, to a specialized cloud server. The cloud server designed for this innovation analyzes incoming data using sophisticated algorithms to produce analytics like temperature variation trends and patterns. When anomalies or dangerous situations are found, it sends out alerts. The machine's Touch Screen HMI Display, which offers a local way for temperature monitoring, examining analytics, and manual machine control, allows operators to communicate with the system. In addition, a dedicated online dashboard provides a remote interface that can be accessed through the cloud. This web dashboard has an alert component that enables operators to quickly address any problems that the system flags in addition to displaying real-time analytics.
