Projects

Development of an Intergrated Oil Quality and Vibration Monitoring System, For Condition-based Maintenance of Hydraulic Systems, case study Mine Machines.(Final year)2019 The purpose of this research was to develop a condition monitoring system for machine hydraulic systems. The lack of real time machine data and process performance data in mining machinery results in reactive and unplanned maintenance leading to downtime and machine unavailability.Proteus was used for the circuit design and circuit analysis, data analysis techniques, implementation of algorithms and computer coding techniques. An expert system was developed with the capability of monitoring four machine parameters. A maintenance decision support platform on the system will aid in the conducting of maintenance corresponding to the diagnostics. Tongatt Hullets Planned Maintenance (Off-crop)
