Within the framework of a collaboration contract between the laboratories ENERGY-LAB, LCIS and the engineering firm Intégrale Ingénierie, the objective of this project is to develop an instrumentation architecture related to the Internet of Things and the maintenance of equipment. The Internet of Things or IoT, is a field of engineering and research that aims to interconnect through various networks and especially the Internet, the objects that surround us. This development comes to answer the need of the industrial field and more particularly in Reunion Island, which is to be able to predict breakdowns and malfunctions of the process due to the material.
The IoT is accompanied by tools, such as digital twins, which help in decision-making based on data captured by the networks. They allow, among other things, to include predictive maintenance natively in their design. Predictive maintenance is a method that consists in anticipating anomalies based on the actual state of the machines. These data will be submitted as input to algorithms trained to detect the precursors of possible defects.
