An Implementation of a Remote Diagnostic System on Rotational Machines

Abstract

In view of the development and the need for fault diagnosis in industries, remote diagnostics technology, based on intranet and Internet, is deemed an inevitable trend. This article presents the architecture of a multi-tier, complex remote diagnostics system by applying CORBA. Functionality for each tier of the architecture is elaborated. A remote diagnostic system is then implemented and applied to the diagnosis of mechanical equipment in a large-scale iron and steel corporation. The system can cross platforms, including heterogeneous hardware and software, operating systems, and network protocols. Some results of remote diagnosis in the large-scale iron and steel plant are presented. The advantages of remote diagnosis for the industrial system under consideration are discussed.

Experimental image and range scanner datasets fusion in SHM for displacement detection

“…In special for those damages that are invisible and undetected by visual inspection, various damage identification strategies have been developed in literature using a wide range of technologies. By these reasons, SHM has gained considerable attentions toward diverse engineering applications, due to it deals with damage identification for aerospace, civil, industrial, and mechanical structures, like bridges, dams, buildings, stadiums, vessels, platforms, airframes, wind turbines, and inclusive large machinery and equipments . Historic buildings are often designed and built with deficient construction details, and the poor state of conservation of materials and components has obvious consequences on their overall performance.…”

Intelligent Factory Agents with Predictive Analytics for Asset Management

“…While more recent preventive maintenance strategies (Qu et al, 2006;Sana, 2012;Schuman and Brent, 2005) may offer higher availability through time-based conditioning/repair/replacement activities that preclude unexpected downtime, this approach also has two major disadvantages. The data contains valuable health information that can be used to support factory decision-making procedures.…”

Design of a reconfigurable prognostics platform for machine tools

“…doi:10.1016/j.eswa.2009.05.004 developed and presented, respectively. Qu et al (2006) presented a Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) -based remote diagnostic system for large scale distributed rotary machines. In the implementation of the diagnosis platform for milling and turbine machines, data was accumulated and preprocessed in the factory level and was sent to remote diagnosis center for further analysis and decision making.…”
