Automated Online Electric Motor Testing

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

The current industrial practice of evaluating electric motor performance is impeded by a labor-intensive and manual process, resulting in inefficiencies, human errors, and delays in the identification of emerging motor issues. The primary objective of this initiative is to revolutionize motor testing through the centralization and automation of the analysis process, the incorporation of continuous monitoring, and the automation of critical actions based on analysis results. The overarching goal of this project is to enhance the reliability and performance of electric motor systems, optimize resource allocation, and improve workplace safety. The goal is to revamp how we evaluate electric motor performance by automating analysis, enhancing reliability, and ensuring safety. We're building a system that centralizes data, monitors motors, and automates actions based on analysis, meeting technical specs and cost limits. Our design involves microcontrollers, motor testing, and efficient operator selection for offline testing. The prototype aligns with set specifications, promising better motor evaluation and workplace safety.
