Monitoring a machine and the insight it provides for appropriate maintenance is of prime importance for the modern industry. While this is fully supported in Industry 4.0, many manufacturing units today are unable to use its technologies. One of the major reasons behind that is the lack of onboard sensors to capture and communicate appropriate data from a legacy machine. Retrofitting is considered an efficient solution to include legacy machines in an industry 4.0 ecosystem by adding external sensing and connectivity. As a proof of concept, in this paper we consider an induction motor for retrofitting, a major component of any manufacturing unit. We further show how retrofitting can help in making legacy machines compliant to the new technologies from Industry 4.0. Finally, visualization of the collected data is performed over a web based Augmented Reality application. The choice for a web-based Augmented Reality application was made to enable monitoring of the sensor data over a multitude of devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
