Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to vibration and overheat mapping algorithm and zigbee-equipped automated shutdown to prevent casualties in high-capacity truck-mounted chipper operation in forestry.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This state-of-the-art safety system offers a comprehensive suite of monitoring and preventive measures, tailored exclusively for forestry operations using high-capacity truck-mounted chippers. The chipper's operational status is continuously assessed by the system with the use of modern sensors, wireless connectivity, and cloud computing. A sophisticated system analyzes temperature and vibration data to provide instantaneous insights into possible risks. When there are anomalies, the system automatically shuts down to protect users from harm. Remote access to an intuitive online dashboard allows operators to respond quickly to crucial alarms and make proactive maintenance decisions.
The goal of this innovation is to address the difficulties caused by the inherent dangers associated with high-capacity truck-mounted chipper operations in the forest industry. Traditional monitoring systems can fall short in effectively detecting and preventing possible dangers, like unusual vibrations and overheating. Operator accidents and casualties are more likely in the absence of automatic response systems and real-time information. The lack of a comprehensive safety solution that combines wireless communication, cloud-based analytics, and modern sensors presents a major challenge to the forestry industry, hindering its ability to anticipate and address operational risks.
