Abstract

A production line requires a monitoring system that is automated, accurate and reliable, as well as low cost and easy to maintain to help companies to achieve a better yield. A production line usually consists of several sub-processes which makes it very time consuming to troubleshoot whenever failure occurs. Wireless multipoint network production monitoring system (PMS) aims to solve this problem. The objective of this project is to design and develop a wireless multipoint PMS using PIC, IR sensors, and ZigBee technology, as well as to simulate and analyse the performance of the system in terms of data accuracy and real time. In this project, the system is designed for only two sub-processes in one production line and concentrated on collecting the information: total input, rejected product, and downtime counter. The design involved designing an initial circuit, followed by software design and hardware circuit constructions. The hardware and software will be combined and their compatibility will be tested to make sure it is functioning as desired. Finally, the output data is gathered and analysed. This system aims to be used in the production floor to monitor each sub-process and helps to reduce the troubleshooting time, while improves the production performance and yield.
