Tiivistelmä
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the extended version of the Internet where physical “things” are connected to the Internet network. When these physical “things” can sense the environment and communicate with people and other “things”, it can be created, for example, intelligent and real-time data collection and analyzation solutions.
The IoT solutions have already started to be present in consumer markets, but in the technology industry, these solutions have only recently become a topic of greater interest. Keskustekniikka has been involved in the development of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) by developing the COSMOS product family. The COSMOS products activate the IIoT and provide solutions from a single application to a wider overall solution.
This thesis investigates how the COSMOS data collection system can be adapted to Sandvik’s mining machines, including different types of drill rigs, loading and hauling machines, and crushers. The thesis introduces a product concept for an intelligent vibration-based data collection instrument. The instrument analyzes the vibration of a ma-chine and uses the analyzation results for recording the operation times of the most common operation modes. The instrument must be easy to install on all types of machines and it should work with as little configuration as possible.
