Towards devising a vibration based machinery health monitoring system

Excessive vibration is one of the main causes of damaging the vulnerable parts of the machines. However, a low-cost vibration monitoring system is yet to be proposed in the literature to the best of our knowledge. In this paper, we propose a low-cost wireless vibration monitoring system that can be used to monitor the machine vibration remotely at any time. It will help the maintenance department to decide on the maintenance required for a particular machine and improving the lifetime of the machine as well. By using our device, we find which machine in the textile factory needs more maintenance. Besides, by analyzing our data, we establish a relationship between machine vibration, machine age, and machine quality.
