[0018] IOT GROUNDED DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF INDUSTRIAL MONITORING STRUCTURE

[0019] Automatic systems are commencing espoused over homemade system because of their self- ground rule behavior. To avoid this disaster in advance, the indispensable idea is bandied in this paper. The system is developed with embedded detectors, regulators, and some loT- grounded software. In this system, we're covering the discovery of LPG gas leakages with some waking features.

[0029] United States Patent Application 20200074828

[0030] TECHNOLOGIES FOR MANAGING SAFETY AT INDUSTRIAL SITES

[0031] Technologies for managing safety at an industrial site include a method. The method includes receiving, by a compute device in a cloud data center, condition data indicative of a sensed or determined condition at the industrial site. The condition data was produced at least in part by an edge device at the industrial site. The method also includes analyzing, by the compute device and with a model that associates conditions with corresponding safety statuses, the received condition data to determine a corresponding safety status associated with the industrial site. Further, the method includes determining, by the compute device and as a function of the determined safety status, whether a responsive action is to be performed at the industrial site. Additionally, the method includes sending, by the compute device, to the edge device at the industrial site and in response to a determination that a responsive action is to be performed at the industrial site, responsive data indicative of the responsive action to be performed.

[0032] This invention is similar to our claimed patent in their purpose and overall function as well as their comprising parts. However, the details of their design such as they type of microprocessor or sensors used in the machine are different. Also, our system features a non-formattable memory unit.

[0033] This invention involves a comprehensive safety control system for industrial sites which includes: an Arduino programmable microcontroller, an ATMEGA328 microcontroller, a monitoring and analysis system, a light measurement sensor, a mechanized lighting system with remote control, a pollution monitoring sensor, a harmful gas control sensor, a purification device, a smart non-mechanical ventilation device, a vibration and sound control sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor and an artificial humidifier.

[0034] The proposed solution uses networked microcontrollers and microprocessors to offer centralized control. Wireless communication through Bluetooth and WiFi modules facilitates short and long-range communication. The use of analyzers connected to sensors allows for real-time monitoring of environmental factors such as light intensity, pollution, humidity, and temperature. The system uses sensors, microcontrollers, microprocessors, and additional devices to evaluate and control harmful environmental factors, reacting to sensor inputs with predefined corresponding commands. Microcontrollers detect anomalies in devices and adjust performance accordingly.

[0035] The system can respond to various environmental factors by activating devices such as air purifiers when pollution levels exceed defined limits. Microcontrollers store machine performance data and process it to provide responses to issues. In case of technical errors, the system can shut down the machine to prevent further damage. Information is displayed through screens in the control room after being processed by Arduino boards and digital analyzers.

[0036] Non-formattable memory stores all data for report generation and security purposes. The system can be scaled for larger industrial environments by using Raspberry Pi boards for data processing. Different types of data transmission protocols such as parallel ports, serial ports, and RS485 are used for communication between devices. Overall, by utilizing microcontrollers and microprocessors instead of PLCs, the system aims to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and provide real-time monitoring and control of environmental factors in industrial settings.

[0037] With the advancement of technology, the needs of the construction industry are more inclined towards automation and not using human power. This invention is related to the field of engineering sciences, especially civil engineering, construction management, and road construction machinery. It offers protective measures and monitoring applications that would address the needs of all construction safety systems by removing and controlling all harmful factors that impact equipment and personnel.

[0038] This invention reduces the industry's need for manpower to measure and evaluate the harmful factors of the work environment and field inspections. Minimizing the errors caused by the measurement or analysis of different parts of a work environment attempts to reduce losses and damages. Also, by creating a safe environment, this system increases the morale of the personnel, boosts production, and improves quality.

[0039] PLCs, or programmable logic controllers are the currently available solution widely used for industrial purposes. Despite having fascilities and merits, they also have shortcomings that cause errors and create danger in work environments. Among the existing liabilities, we can mention the following: no explanation in the programming codes, the use of very small data for long counters, the failure to use units for variables, the failure to use descriptive names for variables and modules, units and operators. This proposed system aims to address the existing failures and errors such as: technical defects of devices, problems of repairing and diagnosing their faults, or problems related to emergency power cut in systems and equipment breakdowns.

[0040] Moreover, the issues that impact the personnel or might harm the health of emplyees, such as breathing in polluted air that is caused by the pollution of vapors and toxic fumes in the environment, or lack of favorable conditions in terms of temperature and humidity, light, or noise pollution will be addressed. Other goals of the invention include fixing the programming and data processing errors in PLCs by way of predicting corresponding commands. This solution eliminates the industry's need for PLCs and uses a more cost-effective and efficient technology. In addition to reducing the costs associated with PLCs, the claimed design can provide increasingly safe and efficient work conditions.Solution of Problem

[0041] Existing control systems such as PLCs take the input values and by processing them through the CPU, perform the desired actions in the output. With the progress of science and technology, their initial defects have been eliminated and they have become more efficient. But these advanced systems also have a series of defects and shortcomings. The programming language of industrial machines is assembly language, which is the simplest and most difficult language available, and PLCs often work with this language to communicate with industrial devices. This language does not take more than 110 lines of programming, and the commands we give may contain commas, parentheses or such signs, which unfortunately are not read in machine language and we encounter errors.

[0042] In addition, there are newer PLCs that are able to read all programming languages. This result however, is only realized if our machine has the ability to support this language, otherwise it will fail. The next thing is the high cost of purchasing PLCs, which we are trying to minimize. This plan, by eliminating PLCs and using microcontrollers and microprocessors, tries to reduce costs and increase efficiency. In such a way that these microcontrollers work with more up-to-date programming languages and also solve the lack of language support by low-end machines by a converter. Also, the need for wires in these connections has disappeared and all connections and parts work wirelessly and networked by a wireless module.

[0043] The claimed invention considers the qualities of prior art and offers a comprehensive system that contains the following components: an Arduino programmable microcontroller, an ATMEGA328 microcontroller, a monitoring and analysis system, a light measurement sensor, a mechanized lighting system with remote control, a pollution monitoring sensor, a harmful gas control sensor, a purification device, a smart non-mechanical ventilation device, a vibration and sound control sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor and an artificial humidifier.

[0044] In this system, we use microcontrollers, which are programmable ICs, as well as some sensors and devices that are complementary to the sensors, to control and evaluate all harmful factors in the environment. Programmable microcontrollers usually have general-purpose input or output pins. When we use a pin as an input, we can read digital or analog data from sensors and other devices and make decisions about them. If we use a pin as an output, we can use them to control a motor.

[0045] The microcontrollers have a processor with a fixed amount of ROM (short-term memory) and RAM (long-term memory), input and output ports, and a counter (timer) inside.

[0046] In fact, the basis of the device's function is that, for example, by installing a microcontroller corresponding to the capacity of the machine (the number of tasks the machine does) to its operating point, the optimal performance of the machine is first measured and stored in its memory. Then, any issues that hinder this desired performance (performance during technical failure) are resolve with logical commands that we have already given to the system by programming codes. The sensors transmit the information received from the environment in the form of analog codes to the Arduino processing source. Unlike the operation of PLCs, in microcontrollers we do not face the problem of programming and its errors and the simplicity of the language, and we can program predictions for the machine without worrying about errors and lack of processing.

[0047] The type of microcontrollers used in each machine depends on the simplicity of the machine or the complexity of its functions. For simple machines like a boiler, we can use AVR microcontrollers according to the capacity of the tank. But for more complex devices such as plastic injection, we can use i1000 and i2000 processors and ATMEGA micros of the 328 type, which has more bases for I / O instructions and has more memory than other types. Also, this type of microcontrollers features a larger number of analog to digital converter ports which fascilitate the performance.

[0048] With a preliminary assessment, it becomes clear which type of microcontroller the machine in question can communicate with, so that they can be connected accordingly and start the programming process. There are major programming issues in PLCs, including creating unnecessary arrays that slow down operations, not supporting the CASE statement when IF&ELSE loops are used repeatedly, and other programming errors that cause failure and in the system. Using microcontrollers allows us to have a smooth and free programming space so that we can define all the notifications, warnings, sensors and all the equipment and prepare a logical responding command for them.

[0049] By networking all the microcontrollers to a mother processing source which can be a microprocessor or a plurality of microprocessors, we can control their performance. Microprocessors are small chips that can perform arithmetic and logical operations. These chips are known as the central processing unit. Another advantage of this wireless system is that this communication is possible in short ranges (distance between machines and the control center) using Bluetooth module and in long distances using wireless modules.

[0050] Image processing from analog to digital is also possible by control modules so that the information that is transferred in analog form from sensors or microcontrollers to the processor, is in digital form and can be read by HSE officials.

[0051] The use of analyzers that are connected to sensors can show us the intensity of light, the amount of pollution, the percentage of humidity and such things in real time.

[0052] In this invention, by using sensors, microcontrollers, microprocessors and additional devices, the evaluation and control of the harmful factors of the environment are done and most of them are removed or reduced. The sensors used in this invention evaluate and respond to factors such as pollution, vibration and sound, ambient light intensity and quality, temperature and humidity, and other harmful factors.

[0053] Moreover, ATMEGA328 microcontrollers are used to detect anomalies in existing devices and adjust their performance. The working process of the device is such that after evaluating the aforementioned environmental factors, the device is transferred to the processing unit of those sensors (depending on the type of sensor and the size of the environment in which we have used this sensor, the processor can be changed). Here we have considered the workshop environment and the type of processor is Arduino, which is an open source hardware platform. The information received from the sensors is transferred to Arduino and processed there.

[0054] In order to eliminate any harmful environmental factor, we have considered a device to remove or reduce its presence in the environment. For example, when the information sent from pollution monitoring sensors is more than the virtual limit that we have defined in the system, the system receives a message that there are large amounts of harmful gas in the environment along with a warning. In this case a responding command which we have already defined on the system which is implemented in the air purifiers is activated. Therefore, the command regarding the removal of environmental pollutants is executed until the ambient air reaches the desired level and is free of harmful factors.

[0055] The long term continuation of a production process may sometimes lead to the production of harmful gases. For better and more effective performance, we can increase the number of sensors or use a device that has higher performance power.

[0056] This is part of the function of the mentioned system, which also works in the presence of other harmful factors. For instance, temperature sensors measure the temperature of the environment with real-time environmental assessments, and if it is too low or too high, they implement the corresponding command that we have planned for them by connecting to the relevant devices. With this method, energy loss is significantly avoided.

[0057] Similarly, light sensors are very important in setting and distributing ambient light. The complementary device of these sensors is the ambient lighting adjustment device, to which the commands are transferred and implemented based on the information received and processed by the sensors. The setting of the ambient light in this system is according to the time periods of day and night, and the amount of main light received from the sun. Also, the distribution of light in the environment by this system is such that it prevents light refraction and glare and radiation to a smooth and polished brightness.

[0058] The operation of microcontrollers in machines also follows the same rule. In this section, the microcontroller, accurately stores all the data regarding the performance of the machine in its memory by connecting to the operating point of the machines in an industrial environment. Then the data is processed and a logical answer for any issue is considered. The information received from the microcontroller is sent by the wireless module to the main processing unit which is the microprocessor. In fact, all our microcontrollers finally get their instructions from microprocessors, which are the main source of information processing.

[0059] For example, if the device has a technical error or a breakdown, the microcontroller immediately evaluates the device's performance issue and sends this information to the processing unit. According to the defined solution in the program, the system warns the operator or the personnel close to the machine in 3 steps to stay away. Then by connecting to a power cut off relay, it stops the device in a safe mode in a fraction of a second and does not allow the system to restart until the defect in the device is fixed. In the mentioned invention, this process plays a significant role in preventing the risks and irreparable damages that may occur due to lack of timely diagnosis or negligence in the repair.

[0060] The task of processing information and responding to them is assigned to Arduino boards. Here begs the question of how and in what way the received information is displayed. After this information is transmitted by the mentioned wireless modules, through the CUBIEBOARD, the analog to digital code conversion modules get involved, and the information is transmitted in a readable form on the screens installed in the control room. Additionally, the information received from the measurement sensors is connected to a series of digital analyzers, and will be constantly visible by the HSE supervisor.

[0061] The non-formattable memory is another feature of this invention, which stores all the data received and sent from all the control units. The safety supervisor can complete his reports by referring to this storage unit, and also prevent interference attempts of removing and destroying them.

[0062] All the parts used in this invention can be adjusted according to the dimensions of the environment. The system can be functional even for ultra-industrial and vast environments where the number of machines is larger and more sensors and microcontrollers might be needed. The use of Raspberry Pi boards to process a large amount of data in larger locations is another feature of this invention. Raspberry Pi are single board computers that are able to run different operating systems. The processing speed of this part is 700 MHz, which is very favorable and efficient for processing input data.

[0063] Parallel ports in AVR microcontrollers have the ability to transfer 8 bits of data at any time. Data transmission by these ports has little reliability because they intercept a lot of noise over long distances. The serial port has the ability to transfer one byte of data at a time. In this port, data is sent and received sequentially. In such a case, one byte of data is sent as 8 bits after another. The data is transferred in a manner that before sending each bit, the serial port first sends a "start" bit, which is just one bit with a value of zero. After sending each bit of data, the serial port sends a "stop" bit which means the termination of data transmission. An additional bit called Parity may also be used for error control. The RS485 (map 5) protocol has the ability to form connections as a data network and make serial communication possible.Advantage Effects of the Invention

[0075] Shows a flowchart of the comprising parts of the system.

[0076] A flowchart of the comprising parts of the claimed system is displayed wherein the main componants are the Arduino and ATMEGA microcontrollers and microprocessors. The monitoring and analyzing system which includes a plurality of data collecting sensors is connected to the microprocessor. These sensors gather real-time data on environmental factors such as pollution, temperature and humidity. Based on the programmed corresponding commands, the purification and ventilation devices are then activated until the anomaly is resolved. The data is continuously stored in a non-formattable memory unit.Examples

[0077] This system can be used in manufacturing industries, laboratories, food industries and even the construction industry. By making intelligent industrial centers using this system, accidents and injuries can be prevented.

[0078] In construction or industrial workshop environments, by installing this system, all parts of the production process can be controlled. For example, by installing sensors and chips that are componants of this system on a device for measuring the relative humidity of the environment, if the humidity increases beyond the permissible level, the device sends a message about this condition and processes the command message, goes to the ventilation department and reduces relative humidity. Or if the pollutants in the environment exceed the set limit, the processing center sends a message to the air control and purification unit and this part is automatically activated to blow oxygen and gases to neutralize the respiratory risks.

[0079] To implement the above plan, we must first obtain a preliminary analysis of the civil and industrial environment and the existing machines. Then, we specify the operation of each of the devices and machines along with their field of activity. Then it will be important to examine the issue of the environment and dimensions where this system is going to be implemented. After that, we prepare the necessary tools according to the capacities and requirements of the environment. After preparing the tools and supplementary devices required for the desired industrial environment, we should devise a program specific to that industrial environment. Of course, in our plan, the format of this program is prepared and only data obtained from the workshop is entered.

[0080] The microcontrollers used in this industrial environment must be networked. After installing the microcontrollers and connecting them to the operating point of the industrial machines, the desired program of each of the microcontrollers is defined by the system. The next step is to install and operate the sensors mentioned in the solution. The installation of sensors should be done in specific places that have been determined in advance according to the engineering principles. Sensors should also be connected to the processing source by Wi-Fi or Bluetooth modules. Complementary devices should also be installed in a suitable place with calculations regarding the sensor boards.

[0081] It should be noted that the complementary devices are synchronized with the sensors and thus the processing source activates the complementary device after receiving the information of each sensor if needed. After installing all the design requirements in each hall, the control room will be launched. At this stage, we will install the analyzers and monitoring systems and define the desired program on each of them. During the installation and launch of this system, all machines of the production line in the industrial environment must be turned off. After the initiation is finished, the operation can be tested before final activation.

[0086] In addition, a sensor based on the measurement of harmful gases is installed in this device, which complements the pollution monitoring sensor and fully evaluates the pollution and harmful factors in the air.
