DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR MONITORING THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT OF NONCONVENTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Abstract
Protection against data loss is one of the key objectives in ensuring the optimal functionality of processing equipment through unconventional technologies, such environments differ from a consumer, because multipolar restrictions on the type of equipment, its connections throughout the unit will generally have higher requirements. Data loss protection is one of the key objectives in securing the optimal functionality of such an industrial environment, such environments differ from a consumer one as multipole restrictions regarding the type of equipment, its connections throughout the facility will have generally higher requirements. These advanced features come with additional costs regarding the equipment prices, in most cases, a specialized industrial grade storage solution can be avoided by using a centralized data storage location, however, in the case of equipment that is out of the reach of a network interface, or the permanent network access is considered a risk this solution will not be feasible. The current paper presents a solution to avoid the cost of industrial-grade storage solutions by measuring the environmental conditions in which the equipment is installed and comparing it to a maximal threshold for which a nonindustrial grade solution is still applicable. The prototype design of an HW-SW combo application is presented that is capable of recording values for temperature, humidity, and vibrations and compare it to a database of storage mediums based on the environmental factors thus providing a tool for optimizing the cost it the deployment scenario permits it.
