Real-Time Gearbox Defect Detection Using IIoT-Based Condition Monitoring System

Abstract

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">In order to guarantee the dependability and effectiveness of industrial machinery, real-time gearbox malfunction detection is extremely important. Traditional approaches to condition monitoring systems sometimes rely on time-consuming human inspections or routine maintenance, which can result in unanticipated failures and expensive downtime. The rise of the industrial Internet of things (IIoT) in recent years has paved the way for more sophisticated and automated monitoring methods. An IIoT-based condition monitoring system is suggested in this study for real-time gearbox failure detection. The gearbox health state is continually monitored by the system using sensor data from the gearbox, such as temperature, vibration, and oil analysis. Real-time transmission of the gathered data is made to a central monitoring hub, where sophisticated analytics algorithms are used to look for any flaws.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">This study’s potential to improve the dependability and operational effectiveness of industrial gear is what makes it so significant. Real-time defect identification makes it possible to undertake maintenance tasks preemptively, avoiding catastrophic failures and cutting down on downtime. This reduces not just the expenses of unanticipated maintenance but also boosts general productivity and client happiness. The uniqueness of this study comes from the way sophisticated analytics and IIoT technologies were used to find gearbox defects. Despite the literature’s exploration of IIoT-based condition monitoring systems, this work focuses especially on gearbox defect detection, which presents special difficulties because of complicated mechanical dynamics and the existence of several failure scenarios. The suggested methodology provides a thorough and automated method that can precisely identify and diagnose gearbox faults, leading to timely maintenance actions and increased operational reliability. Overall, employing IIoT-based condition monitoring, this work offers a unique and useful method for real-time gearbox failure diagnosis. The results of this study can help improve industrial maintenance procedures, which will enhance machinery performance and decrease downtime across a variety of industries, including manufacturing, energy, and transportation.</div></div>
