Hello,
I would like to use Arduino IOT to monitor machine uptime and efficiency. I'm curious if anyone has seen any examples or could help me get started with how to go about this. Essentially, I need to accumulate a time value everytime an operator starts the process compared to the total time in a day.
Thanks!
can you know when the process starts and stop?
➜ that's what you need to "measure" (current draw, noise, whatever is the indicator) to know the uptime
how do you define "efficiency" in this case?
Yes, it is easy for me to track the process time by adding "X" amount of seconds each time the process subfunction runs, but what I am unsure about is how to accumulate a value on IOT that doesn't reset with the arduino and that can also parse the runtime data to be viewed daily, hourly, monthly, etc. Ideally another input can record scrap, and comparing scrap rates to amount of process cycles in any given day will give me efficiency.
I don’t use the arduino IOT cloud.
Have you checked https://docs.arduino.cc/arduino-cloud for examples of pushing data and then having access to historical information?
