- Description
- The constant strive for improving the efficiency of production processes has become a worldwide challenge. In high speed production facilities response time between man and machine is of utmost importance when financial implications are taken into account. This dissertation contributes to improving the response time by making use of wireless notification between the machine and the maintenance technician when process faults occur. The tool used to achieve this is based on Android. Research is carried out on the latest Android technology while taking the safety aspects of a production environment into consideration. Research in designing a rule based intelligent system is established by using a tablet as the user interface for automatic notification and corrective action recommendations. Quick response is achieved by setting up a wireless network. As a result of designing a wireless intelligent maintenance tool, production downtime is improved. Management can recall all activities logged by the system for graphical representation.
