Smart Modem used for conveyor belt monitoring
A key element in a smart management, control and industrial automation environment, is to be able to monitor the status of both local and remotely located equipment such as conveyor belts. MTX IoT modems enable remote monitoring of conveyor belts.
To obtain data, two inductive sensors detect metallic objects and calculate the distance between them based on the speed and frequency of detection. The first one is placed so that it can detect the movement of the conveyor belt itself. The second one is placed in the rotor. Thanks to these two independent measurements it is possible to detect if both elements are synchronized or if there is a speed difference between them, which could indicate a malfunction of the belt or an excessive weight supported (similar measures, but below the usual average).
The MTX-IoT, an IoT modem with up to 3 digital inputs, temperature inputs and data logging capability can send data to an IoT Platform (Cervello IoT Platform) for data processing and triggering of alarms/warnings generate from analysis of the data received.
