Abstract

As we know, mostly the current methods of monitoring manufacturing activities are done in manual ways. The main objective of this project is to build a Wireless Monitoring Network using Zigbee to monitor manufacturing activities. The emerging of all development system has become important to improve production and minimize the cause of implementing network and caused by waste. This project aims to investigate Zigbee’s capabilities as Wireless Network which the study will look into Zigbee’s specifications and protocol. This is followed by the development of a manufacturing monitoring system using Visual basic, Zigbee and microcontroller and to evaluate the system performances. The work includes the configuration between microcontroller and Zigbee as the act of machine terminal. The end output will be displayed on a PC where a Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been developed using VB.net. From the experiment, the result obtains that Zigbee can send data at maximum range distances of 70 meters without any obstacle. With some obstacle apply which is in different places; the maximum range Zigbee can support is only 60 meters. From the experiment can be observed that Zigbee has delay time and losses in transmitting data. These scenarios obviously appear if the terminal machines located far away from PC terminal and with some obstacle. However, Zigbee still have stability in transmitting data in altitude parameter till third floor. The conclusion of this experiment can obtain the best distance should the machines and PC terminal located.
