A Framework of Wireless Maintenance System Monitoring: A Case Study of an Automatic Filling Machine at SB Company

This paper proposes a framework for wireless maintenance system monitoring for manufacturing machine and equipment using several sensor and cloud-based technology. The aim is to minimize the full wire connection and monitoring process where the access will be more convenient and efficient. A proposed scheme of wireless maintenance monitoring for the SR125 automatic filling machine at SB Company introduced. By utilization of this proposed framework, the current condition of manufacturing machine and equipment could be monitored for 24 hours and accessed anywhere and anytime even though we are not in local area network of machine or equipment. This system is beneficial as an early warning for the maintenance department to prevent the sudden breakdown as well as minimize the worst case like as explosion. Therefore, the maintenance team would be possible to make a quick decision and action, whether it need a corrective, preventive or other special maintenance action. By this concept, it does not only increase the reliability, availability, and maintainability of the manufacturing machine and equipment; but also will decrease the maintenance cost in overall as well.
