Case Study – Conveyor Link

Givens: Inexplicable failure of conveyor Harsh industrial environment

State of the Art: Tasek

- One component- Not Real-time

Challenges: Multi-component Environment (grease, chemicals, etc.) Real-time Power On the spot decision making Distance of transmission Deploy in less than 15 minutes

Solutions: Measure all components Calculate combined stresses 40 hour battery pack

Proposed Sensor

Questions:

Frequency of readings Frequency of the measured phenomenon Jarring: tension/compression only??? Is non-linearity/hysteresis important? Will you

interpolate between data? Or only repeatability is important?

Proposed Sensor

Challenges:

Influence of jarring on on-board electronics. Special temperature compensation. Minimize time to reach steady state temperature. Redundancy schemes. Diagnostics software. Battery life. Device Temperature Range (ITEM 9.1)

-65°F to 275°F (=51°C to 135°C) -55°C to 125°C is Mil Temp Range for sensor electronics (incl. radio)
