The Use of Fuzzy Logic for Online Monitoring of Manufacturing Machine: An Intelligent System

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) has positioned itself at the front of rapid technological advancements in order to lessen human labor. The concept of making the world smart arises from the basis that “things” can be connected using the Internet. In this paper, the researchers will be describing an effective implementation of an intelligent monitoring system for manufacturing machine unit which is used in industry environment. The propose system design can be installed in manufacturing machines in order to solve management problems, maintenance, shortens the mean time to repair and predict mean time to fail. The researchers have designed a system based on internet of thing for monitoring using the fuzzy logic approach. It consists of monitoring the normal activities of the manufacturing machines in order to build a reference of its condition; then a real-time monitoring and analysis of gathered data from the sensors is accomplished. The status is carried out using a Fuzzy Logic based network. It will give the users the current activity of the manufacturing machine and will also provide information about health status. This system had been incorporated through internet using host, network, Ethernet module, embedded system gateway, sensors, microcontroller unit (MCU) and other components. This paper discusses how monitoring system can be implemented and how the use of cloud computing technology along with IoT devices can be used so that the data collected by these devices can be safely stored, monitored and analyzed.
