A Thing Speak IoT Based Vibration Measurement and Monitoring System Using an Accelerometer sensor

Abstract

This paper presents the development of a Thing Speak IoT on a Real-Time Vibration measurement System using the accelerometer Sensor. Many systems have been designed previously but some lack systems are identified where it does not provide adaptively connections and alert to web pages on logging data collections. Thus, understanding the previous system model is important to compare the importance of new build parameters in designing the new system. An evaluation of the current model, hardware, and software is important before a new architecture is developed. This research has developed a prototype system to monitor and measure the vibration of a system remotely and setting up threshold and alert accordingly. The designed system assisted with an internet as vibration monitoring system for the machines. Research methods consist of two parts involved hardware and software development. The hardware development covers the connections of the accelerometer sensor and the software involved in constructed coding using the C language program. The program then is compiled and uploaded into the Node MCU to display the acceleration of the system. An open-source Internet of Things called Thing Speak is used as a platform to retrieve and display the collected data. Real-time monitoring can be accessed through Smartphone and web applications. This study has been considered successfully implemented and it is a significant study that performs on new IoT platforms and adaptively ready to monitor a vibration remotely.

The Use of IoT for Determination of Time and Frequency Vibration Characteristics of Industrial Equipment for Condition-Based Maintenance

“…Although recommendations to use simultaneous analysis of vibration parameters in the time and frequency domains have been known since the standard [19], modern publications [20,21] do not attempt to combine analysis methods and the capabilities of modern IoT technologies into one whole.…”
