Structural Health Monitoring of Gantry Crane Based on EDGE Technology

Abstract:

The closely combination of Internet of Things and on-site monitoring and control technology is the development tendency of the site monitoring and control technology, especially the special equipment safety monitoring technology. EDGE technology is one way of Internet of Things technology realization. EDGE technology is a digital mobile phone technology which allows improved data transmission rates as a backward-compatible extension of GSM. It is also considered as a pre-3G (2.75G) radio technology and is part of ITU's 3G definition. It is used as one of the aims of the project which allows the operators to keep abreast of the crane operation status. Then a software platform is developed to monitor the real-time stress. A software platform is developed via a lot of preliminary work as mentioned above. The information is collected by FBG sensors and transmitted to the demodulator, and then the software calculates strain by a formula given in. Finally we acquire the real-time stress in different parts of the crane. If the real-time stress exceeds the allowable stress, it issues an alarm signal to the operator.
