Evaluation of a sensor concept
Challenge
Task
-
evaluation of a sensor concept for a highly dynamic mechatronic system
Objective
- realization of a very quick development trajectory with a focus on series production
- triangulation between
- technical feasibility
- financial sustainability
- mandatory features
Framework
- observable lack in sensor technology competence
- no suitability of Piezo for the field of application
- uncertainty as to feasibility and profitability of series production
- consideration of different sensor concept variants
Solution
agile project management via design thinking approach:
- analysis of a complex system
- market & price research
- identification of diverse sensor concept variants
- prototypical set-up with suitable measurement configuration for sensor evaluation; development of further measurement methods focused on suitability for mass production
- evaluation/analysis of sensor data to establish a sensor concept and recommendations
Benefits
- deployment of a cheaper Piezo sensor
- demonstration using prototypical measurement setup
- verification of compensation possibility for sensor’s disadvantages based on software
- measurement of additional conditions (imbalances, bearing damage)
Technologies
- Messagebroker (Rabbit MQ)
