Abstract

With the trend of digitalization in industry, many companies are improving their processes with digital solutions, making them more efficient, cost effective and sustainable. Metso Outotec aims to improve the pressure filtration process by monitoring the parts of the filter susceptible to failure. By analyzing these parts' state of wear, the Smart Parts system can provide predictive maintenance. However, there must be an infrastructure deployed to the filter that acquires the parts data for analysis. This thesis work designs an IoT system for the acquisition of filtration parts data. The design consists of two device types: the hub device and spoke device. The system architecture is similar to the star topology, where each of the filter's susceptible parts are equip with a spoke device that wirelessly communicates sensor data to the hub device. Furthermore this thesis implements a prototype of the designed system and evaluates the validity of the solution. Evaluation of the prototype showed that the system design proposed in this thesis was an acceptable solution to the Smart Parts data acquisition infrastructure. Through a series of experiments and qualitative observations, the evaluation proved all system requirements were satisfied.
