Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to xbee equipped wireless control system for enhanced efficiency and ease of operation in stationary fabrication machine within steel industry.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This innovative development offers a comprehensive wireless control solution made especially for steel industry stationary fabrication machines. It promises increased user-friendliness, efficiency, and flexibility in operations. It enables remote access and management of Stationary Fabrication Machines from any location with internet connection by integrating RF-based remote solutions with IoT and cloud technologies.
The task of improving control and operation of stationary fabrication machines in the steel industry is taken on by this innovation. Traditional control methods frequently suffer from limitations in terms of adaptability, effectiveness, and ease of use, which leads to inefficiencies and safety issues. A solution that enables operators to remotely access and control Stationary Fabrication Machines is desperately needed in order to support real-time parameter modifications, communication, and monitoring.
US8002163B2: A friction welding apparatus includes a first holder for holding a first work piece, a second holder for holding a second work piece, a thrust mechanism and a shaft. The thrust mechanism moves the second holder toward or away from the first holder. The shaft is connected to the first holder and the second holder for receiving thrust caused by the thrust mechanism. The shaft has a tie rod and an externally threaded member which is coaxially connected to the tie rod so that the externally threaded member is rotatable on an axis thereof. The thrust mechanism has the externally threaded member, an internally threaded member and a thrust motor. The internally threaded member is provided in either one of the first holder and the second holder and engaged with the externally threaded member. The thrust motor rotates the externally threaded member relative to the internally threaded member.
RESEARCH GAP: Xbee Equipped Wireless control of Stationary Fabrication Machine within Steel Industry with cloud integration is the novelty of the system.
US8578992B2: Disclosed is a friction welding apparatus in which electricity is supplied to a servo motor to rotate a spindle to thereby impart a fixed relative rotational motion to one workpiece and another workpiece, and, while doing so, the one workpiece and the other workpiece are brought into contact with each other and imparted a frictional thrust thereto to soften a bonding interface between the two workpieces. After this, the friction welding apparatus undergoes speed reduction until the RPM of the spindle becomes a phase adjustment RPM; when the RPM of the spindle attains the phase adjustment RPM, a clutch device is engaged with the spindle, and the electricity supply to the servo motor is cut off to stop the rotation of the spindle.

With its enhanced flexibility, productivity, and user-friendliness, this creative solution fundamentally changes how Stationary Fabrication Machines operate in the steel sector. Remote control and monitoring are made possible by the smooth integration of hardware parts, wireless communication technologies, and IoT/cloud-based connectivity. This leads to process simplification and increased productivity. It uses two primary remote control systems, WCSET_FEMote and WCSER_FEMote, in harmony with hardware and software components. The Stationary Fabrication Machine may be remotely controlled from a distance with both systems thanks to wireless connectivity established between an XBee Module with Base Patch and a Raspberry Pi Processor Board. These systems control the machine's many operations, such as parameter changes and power management.
Additional parts like an actuator, temperature sensor, indicator, and power supply are integrated in the WCSET_FEMote configuration. The temperature sensor keeps an eye on the outside environment, while the actuator makes mechanical manipulation easier. The indicator provides visual feedback, and the power supply guarantees uninterrupted operation. WCSER_FEMote, on the other hand, has a rechargeable power source, a personalized keypad, and a display. The keypad permits user input for remote control, and the display offers real-time monitoring of the machine's parameters and status. Rechargeable power supplies guarantee continuous and portable operation.
Both remote control systems communicate wirelessly by transmitting and receiving commands using XBee RF-based technology. The Raspberry Pi Processor Board, acting as the machine's central control unit, processes these commands by deciphering them and carrying out the appropriate operations inside the Stationary Fabrication Machine. Furthermore, the functionality of these remote control systems is improved by the integration of cloud-based and Internet of Things technologies. Remote monitoring and control are made possible via the web dashboard interface, which operators and authorized workers can access via the internet from any location with internet access. Access to real-time data and analytics, as well as effective administration of machine operations, are made possible by this intuitive interface.
