Remote Monitoring and Supervision System for Lifting Equipment over TCP/IP Networks

摘要

The Portuguese railway company owns over 400 lifting equipment, including lifts, escalators and conveyors, representing over 20 different models from different manufacturers. It was identified the need to control the status of these equipment (events, alarms, cumulative information, etc.) as well as the performance of the maintenance company. The goal is to implement a system that, based on the collected information, allows an overtime analysis of several parameters, concerning the lifting equipment itself and the action of maintenance personnel. In this context, it is presented a system that was developed to comply with these needs. It is composed of an acquisition part - collects information from equipment, a processing unit - processes information and places it over a TCP/IP network, and software - for visualization of the information and reports.
