DMEI 4314 Sensor and Smart Devices for Defense Applications
Condition-monitoring and maintenance decision-making is one of the crucial activities in manufacturing. It can be viewed as an activity in which raw data from sensors are transformed into useful information about the condition of the underlying equipment and further into optimal decisions on what to do with it to maintain functional operations of that piece of equipment and the overall manufacturing system (repair, replacement, system reconfiguration). The course will cover a range of concepts and methods that enable such transformations of data into useful information and decisions. Numerous examples of applying the aforementioned concepts will be presented, including monitoring of belt tension and alignment in material handling devices, vibration-based monitoring of valves and seals in an automation system, automotive engine diagnostics, as well as system-level maintenance and operational decision-making based on the equipment level condition information.
