IoT Based Interface Device for Automatic Molding Machine towards SMART FOUNDRY-2020

Abstract

In the modern days, computing technology has been demanding which is called an Internet of Things (IoT). This IoT technology can be united with a variety of electronic and mechanical devices through cloud computing networking. IoT is a smart device which provides a solution for connecting, interacting and communicating to machine-to-machine using sensor network and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies, etc. Using IoT, the device can be connected easily and the generated data can be stored. Using the command and control system, the data can be utilized for appropriate applications which makes human life easier and safer. Also, it provides a huge impact on the industry. In this paper, a novel IoT based interface device for automatic molding machine (AMM) towards SMART FOUNDRY 2020 is proposed where this IoT based interface device solves the problem of the man-machine interface in the industry. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) based software is designed which interfaced the different sensors, actuators, and electronics motors, etc. SMART FOUNDRY-2020 is regulated using a GUI for its manual and automatic control. GUI is designed to interact with the automatic molding machine with the users. Subsequently, this data is connected to the cloud platform to store data and analyze the application functionality of automatic molding machine. This shows the potential of IoT in SMART FOUNDRY.
