Sensor Fusion and Performance Monitoring System for Domestic Pump Application

This report presents a performance monitoring system for a domestic pump for monitoring and controlling the various parameters using sensors. A module of transducers and sensors monitors the parameters like temperature, speed, vibrations, flow rate and send to the processing unit (Node McU) for taking corrective action, also predictive maintenance can be scheduled for the same. Condi-tion monitoring technique can be used in manufacturing industries for on-line monitoring of the processes and equipment for diag-nosing the fault which can be addressed before they develop into a major failure. Also this system will increase the reliability of the pump and it will detect which parameter affects the pump performance. In this project we are interfacing various sensors with the Node MCU which act as a controller. To measure various parameters such as vibration, sound, temperature, flow rate various sen-sors like accelerometer ADXL335, sound sensor, temperature sensor DS18B20, flow sensor YF-S201 are selected respectively. Sen-sors are connected to Node MCU, the Node MCU collect all the data from sensor and it send to the PC/Mobile. Pump will be moni-tored continuously for any abrupt changes based on the condition monitoring for identifying the fault, so that maintenance can be scheduled accordingly.
