Project Title

On the Edge Embedded Fault-Detection in Electro-mechanical Systems

Project Area of Specialization Artificial IntelligenceProject Summary

Industrial machines are often subject of wear and tear which can result in catassrophic situation, and limit the life and efficiency of the machine. The disturbances and damages to the machine may be undetectable for some time, but cause long term damage. 

Our project aims to be able to detect and classify the anomaly in machines, both domestic and industrial. The faults like defective bolt, unexpected current/voltage spike, torn canveyer belts etc. 

Once the fault is classified, we can set it up for predictive maintenance. Thus, we can fix the machine before it leads to permanent damage. 

Project Objectives Project Implementation Method

The system consists of two nodes. A sensore node, and a processor node. 

The sensor node consists of multiple sensors that collect data and wirelessly treansmits the data to the processor node.

The data from the sensor node is ued to train the a Machine Learning /  Artificail Intellence algorithm, which is then deployed on the processor node. The process node will then process on the incoming data from the sensor node and will classify the state of the machine if it is faulty or not. and in case of faulty, it will be abl;e to classify the type of fault.

Benefits of the Project Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The processor node in NVIDIA Nano Jetson, which will run a Convolution Nueral Network (CNN) or LSTM, depecnding upon the collected data. 

The sensor niode is Arduino Uno proessor which is which controls the sensors and collect the data. Tne data is transmitted via ESP8266 wifi module to processor node. 

The AI algorithm i.e CNN and LSTM will than process the data, and draw the conlcusion if the machine is faulty or not, and in case of any fault, it will classify the tyoe if fault.
