Remote Monitoring and Data Analysis for Textile Machinery

Internet of Things The common vision in smart systems, having sensors coupled with information and communication technologies. Intelligent monitoring and management of devices are achieved via sharing of data through networked embedded devices. The paper aims at designing a response-based machine monitoring system, by observing the vital parameters of the machine and by leveraging the Thing Speak platform. The machine parameters like the vibration and oil level and the environmental observances like the humidity and temperature are measured to enable the cooling/heating of devices or for long-term statistics. The statistics are stored on the cloud to get accessed by the needy applications and supplementary procedures. The uploaded data is shown on the webpage as graphs for easy interpretation. In addition to all this, the paper aims to provide a solution to the frequent occurrence of thread breaks in spinning machines by using image processing done using a camera and a simple mechanism to actuate the camera from one position to another position.
