SP2024/033
Summary
The goal of the submitted project will be the design of a complete solution for equipment for measuring the dynamic parameters of the reference system. The main building element of the device will be an interconnected system of inertial sensors for obtaining dynamic data. In the proposed system, it will mainly be a matter of measuring vibrations, inclination or displacements of the system.
Inertial sensors have recently seen significant use, especially in the field of industrial technology, which is related to the miniaturization and ubiquitous digitization of technological processes in Industry 4.0.
The project will be solved within three phases of research, in which individual project teams will participate, regional activities will follow each other:
1. Project solution phase - work on the construction of equipment for measuring dynamic parameters
2. Project solution phase - research into the possibilities of transferring measured data
3. Project solution phase - economic evaluation of the obtained data according to selected factors, research into the application potential of the proposed device
The subject of research within the project is conceived on the basis of the high topicality of the given solution and a certain existing gap in this area and is fully in line with the supporting themes of the Strategic Plan of FMT VŠB-TUO in the period 2021-2027, especially in the following research areas:
Management of modern industrial systems:
• Diagnostics and sensors of industrial processes
• Information systems and modeling for environmental protection in industry
• Artificial intelligence methods in the field of production management
• Advanced approaches and tools for managing the sustainable performance of industrial systems
The presented project is of a multidisciplinary nature with research focused on the topics of digitization, economy, IT sustainability using the principles of circular economy, innovation management and corporate social responsibility.
1. Project solution phase - work on the construction of equipment for measuring dynamic parameters
During the first phase of the project solution, the construction of the device for measuring dynamic parameters will be defined through a design study taking into account the selected parameters and the basic requirements for the use of the given device. Subsequently, a structural design of the prototype of the measuring device will be created to enable testing of its basics, so far only in laboratory conditions.
As part of this phase of the solution, the possibilities of powering such a device will be investigated, since it is assumed to be used in places without the possibility of connecting to an external power source.
In addition, as part of the first stage of project implementation, the research team will investigate the possibility of using a combination of a battery with an additional energy source using renewable sources, e.g. in the form of a photovoltaic cell. The power supply part will be solved mainly with regard to the life of the device until the battery needs to be replaced and its maintenance-free nature.
2. Project solution phase - research into the possibilities of transferring measured data
In the second phase of the project solution, possible functional problems or a faulty device prototype will be debugged, followed by further testing of the measuring device incl. calculations for selected variants of equipment load conditions. An integral part of this phase of the project solution will be the transfer of measured data to the superior element, where they will be stored and further processed. In this way, the project will examine and subsequently define optimal data transfer options, provided that the location of the device does not provide any accessible data infrastructure. For this reason, the possibilities of using wireless data transmission technologies will be tested. The data transmission system will be solved mainly with regard to signal availability/coverage and energy consumption.
In this stage of the project solution, the use of other sensors will be investigated, the incoming data would have economic, statistical or other significance for the given area. As an example, meteorological variables such as temperature and air pressure, barometric pressure, air quality, amount of sunshine, etc. can be mentioned.
3. Project solution phase - economic evaluation of the obtained data according to selected factors, research into the application potential of the proposed device
As part of the project defined and subsequently developed, the equipment will be practically used for applications in the construction industry, engineering production, in the planning and implementation of transport infrastructure. Another possible use is in the area of ensuring the safety of objects or industrial technologies. In order for the device to be used in industrial practice, it is necessary to measure the effectiveness of its involvement in technological processes, or evaluation of benefits in demanding activities.
The next part of the project will be follow-up research, which will deal with the economic evaluation of the data obtained from the point of view of the effects of the external environment and the subsequent assessment of the consequences of these factors on the price or the investigated objects (the price of land, economic prediction of the lifespan of buildings or other industrial technologies). In this context, the possibilities of using the principles of the economy within the value chain of its participants and related ecosystems will be explored.
The third, final phase of the project solution should be aimed at determining the initial conditions for introducing the measuring device into industrial practice in the context of the factors described above. For this reason, research on the target segment of potential customers will be carried out.
Due to the nature of the project and its solution involving multidisciplinary research activities, this part of the project will follow on from the previous research areas described in the previous text, especially in the area of input data and specifics of the use of the proposed measuring device.
The solution teams of students and academic staff and their involvement in the individual stages of the project solution are described in the appendix.
