Designing an industrial real-time measurement and monitoring system based on embedded system and ZigBee
With the increasing automation of factories, factory floors are being covered with machinery. Spaces crowded with machinery are more difficult and dangerous for personnel to operate in. This system attempts to uses the ZigBee embedded system to improve industrial safety quality. In addition to performing existing typical monitoring functions, this system utilizes ZigBee wireless transmission technology for remote monitoring. The measurement items of the industrial applications of this system platform include length filtering, ground vibration sensing, weight grading, electricity sensing, energy monitoring, temperature monitoring, and carbon dioxide concentration. Our application of ZigBee combined with an embedded system to industrial real-time measurements represents an innovative technology. In addition to discussing the system platform in this study, we also discuss statistics and analysis of measurement data. Performing wired and wireless synchronized measurement and monitoring using this system can achieve correct and efficient industrial monitoring operations. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
