Final Report Summary - DYNAMITE (Dynamic Decisions in Maintenance)
The DYNAMITE project aimed at delivering a blend of leading-edge communications and sensor technology, combined with state-of-the-art diagnostic and prognostic techniques, which will advance the capabilities of European industry in maintenance. The objective was to deliver a prototype system with a clear exploitation route to take the technology into the European market.
The monitoring of machines and processes for predictive maintenance and control is crucial for sustainable and competitive industry in Europe. Distributed, autonomous monitoring is fundamental to the penetration of e-maintenance to the cutting edge of high capital and highly productive plant. DYNAMITE aimed at creating an infrastructure for mobile monitoring technology and creating new devices which will make major advances in capability for decision systems incorporating sensors and algorithms. The key features were planned to include wireless telemetry, intelligent local history in smart tags, and on-line instrumentation.
Objectives
1. A flexible infrastructure to host technologies for global e-maintenance
2. A hardware and software demonstrator of smart tag technology incorporating identity, health history and communications
3. A mobile device for access to and reporting from the e-maintenance infrastructure
4. A low cost wireless sensor demonstrator a self-powered, multi-sensor, smart device with wireless communications
5. An online oil sensor incorporating particle counting, distribution and composition in one instrument
6. Tools and methods for cost-effective applications of the maintenance technologies for continuous enhancement of company's profitability and competitiveness.
The results of DYNAMITE are as follows:
1) A pioneering e-maintenance solution named DynaWeb was developed. It is based on scenario analysis of future industrial needs and trends for plant operators, OEM manufacturers, transportation and consulting companies.
2) DynaWeb is a flexible web distributed ICT structure capable of multilevel condition monitoring and maintenance data treatment with common Minosa structure, internet web services, training services and decision support based on technical and economical considerations.
3) DynaWeb consist of 28 integrated hardware and software components. They include smart MEMS sensors with energy harvesting, on-line lubrication sensors, smart tags for identification and location of components, maintenance actions supporting handheld mobile computers (PDA), wireless communication and a strategic and economical decision support system.
4) A condition monitoring data and statistically based decision support system MDSS was developed. It includes toolsets for accurate maintenance decisions, maintenance analysis and cost effectiveness.
5) DynaWeb components and the integrated structure was successfully tested and demonstrated on global level, with milling machine, machine tool, foundry hydraulics, maritime lubrication system and automatic stamping machine industrial installations.
