This paper proposes a system to monitor, through the internet, the data of a logistics distribution truck. For this, it was implemented a reliable and flexible wireless sensor network with low energy consumption. The technology used for the radio system was Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Each node in the network contains one type of sensor. The sensors information together with GPS and On-Board Diagnostics...
The advancement of wireless technology is becoming more apparent in industrial sectors with the advent of standards such as WirelessHART. The benefits associated with WirelessHART includes elimination of costly and cumbersome cabling, reduced maintenance cost and reduced deployment, redeployment in the network. However, the current WirelessHART is lack of low cost adapter for monitoring and control...
Assisted living and home monitoring systems are gradually becoming a necessity, considering the current trends in population ageing and older adults' desire to continue living independently in their homes and their communities for as long as possible. This paper presents our current achievements regarding the implementation of a cyber-physical system for assisted living and home monitoring, developed...
Stability of civil structures is one of the main issues to be considered for the aging of bridges, buildings, tunnels, mines, dams, aircraft or other aging structures. They must be checked correctly, thus, security of civil structures, especially tunnels and bridges, pose a great matter for civil engineering. Therefore, Structural health monitoring ‘SHM’ takes more and more an important area in modern...
Temperature monitoring of medicines is essential for product quality and patient safety. Product quality is influenced by temperature perturbations and time delays in interventions. Thanks to Internet of Things (IoT) considerable progress has been made in recent years in the improvement of temperature monitoring devices. However, temperature monitoring in medicine Cold Chain remains challenging. In...
In the event of railway overhead catenary pole twist there are several negative results being appeared at a time, such as deterioration of stock power supply quality, drop of unit efficiency and hazard of locomotive collector shoe damage. As for now, mast twist occasion is being detected via visual method only during technical maintenance performance. Design of permanent monitoring of railway overhead...
This article is devoted to the research of diagnostics and monitoring of power supply devices of railway automation and remote control. The analysis of failure statistics of power supply devices in recent years has been carried out and the most vulnerable elements of power supply systems have been identified on its basis. Objects are described, the state of which must be diagnosed in the input devices,...
Air and Water are the most important resources of the planet that we use daily for sustaining life. Air quality affects all living creatures, from trees and plants to animals and people. Air quality, especially in the trend of more industrialized cities and with a rapid growing population of cars, is degrading. Continuous monitoring allows the national administrations to take measures in order to...
According to the simulation experiment of high voltage cable defect, the simulation platform of high voltage cable is designed and built. The simulation platform includes booster unit, cable model unit, up flow unit and control unit, and integrates partial discharge, temperature, grounding current online monitoring device. The simulation platform can simulate and analyze all kinds of main insulation,...
Internet of Things (IoT) and its various application domains are radically changing the lives of people, providing smart services which will ultimately constitute integral components of the living environment. The services of IoT operate based on the data flows collected from the different sensors and actuators. In this respect, the correctness and security of the sensor data transported over the...
The aim of this study was to develop a temperature-sensing USB I/O sensor platform system based on graphical monitoring and control techniques. Simple installation, built-in signal conditioning, and free supporting software make our USB I/O interface extremely easy-to-use. Additionally, this paper shed light on the contribution of applying the platform system for teaching students to understand the...
IoT is a revolutionary technology that represents the future of computing and communications. Most of the people over all worlds depend on agriculture. Because of this reason smart IT technologies are needed to migrate with traditional agriculture methods. Using modern technologies can control the cost, maintenance and monitoring performance. Satellite and aerial imagery play a vital role in modern...
PoP or (Point of Presence) is a part of the outermost infrastructure of an ISP that is used to connect the ISP to the customer. PoP is a room which contains servers and aic conditioners. The air conditioners are used to make room remains cool and prevent servers from overheat. In most PoP out there, the operator monitors room every month in order to ensure the cool temperature. In this research, a...
Monitoring of diesel generators is an important part of the management program of electricity utilities as well as telecommunication companies' in-order to have their cellular towers and base transmitter stations up all the time. A reliable remote monitoring method over the on-site method is always desirable so that managing of time and resources can take place as efficiently as possible. This paper...
Temperature management of the food supply-chain is important for ensuring compliance and the quality of perishable products like vaccines and fish. While conventional strategies have relied on using monitors attached to packaging containers, self-powered time-temperature monitoring is attractive because the technology can be embedded with passive RFID tags and can be integrated with every food or...
A load management strategy was developed and implemented on closed and semi-closed loop mine surface cooling systems. Load reduction tests were conducted during the Eskom evening peak period to verify the strategy. The underground temperatures and relative humidity (RH) were monitored during this period. An Energy Management System (EnMS) was utilised to implement the developed strategy. The underground...
This paper proposes a methodology to be used in the segmentation of infrared thermography images for the detection of bearing faults in induction motors. The proposed methodology can be a helpful tool for preventive and predictive maintenance of the induction motor. This methodology is based on manual threshold image processing to obtain a segmentation of an infrared thermal image, which is used for...
The objective of this project is to create a novel device to monitor and report back with comprehensive physiological status and alerts of hazards encountered by the firefighter. The device is a band-aid like device that would be attached to the firefighter's skin positioned on the upper arm. The device would monitor the firefighter's physiological health including heart rate and blood oxygen level,...
The growth of plants is easily affected by external conditions such as sunlight, temperature, humidity and some organic and non-organic materials. Some fertilizers have effects on the growth and the volume of the plants. This paper measures the effects of some fertilizers on the plants using active contour computer vision technique by calculating the plant growth. The contour of an object is easily...
