Golgohar Palletizing
Golgohar is a large iron ore extracting and processing complex (700 hectares). Due to the huge size of this complex, sometimes equipment failure may not be identified until the system fails. Every hour of stoppage of the complex can cause huge damage, and human power alone does not have the power to monitor all the equipment. This project was the remote monitoring of rotating equipment in palletization 2 including failure reporting, abnormal condition alarms and failure prediction by installing FGM smart factory platform.

Personal may not be careful enough while working with dangerous equipment due to fatigue or inattention. Apart from the production stop and the economic losses, the injury and psychological aspect is another aspect in the work environment. The purpose of this project was to monitor the personnel risky behavior while working with dangerous devices. The wristband attached to the worker’s hand stops the machine and gives an alarm as soon as it feels a dangerous behavior.
Jahanfoulad Steel Co.
Weighbridge is an important part in assigning the income of a factory. Unfortunately, there exists cases of abuse in this department. The goal in this project was to make weighbridge operation autonomous and monitoring the behavior of drivers. Scale data was transferred to the central system after measurement. The FGM smart factory platform here was calibrating the scale too.
Sarooj Boushehr Cement Co.
The project was similar to Golgohar palletizing. Monitoring equipment and predicting downtime was a concern for managers. The project was the implementation of a pilot and feasibility study in the company. Smart tags were installed on the electric motors of the furnace air system and their vibrations and temperatures were monitored remotely.
Pak Dairy
In companies whose transportation fleet is their vital artery of revenue, fleet monitoring is very important. Contractors may turn off their refrigerator to save fuel or transporting the goods of others at the time they were in charge of serving the first company. One can add the damages caused due to bad driving and accidents or failure to deliver the goods on time to these problems. The purpose of the Pak Dairy project was to implement FGM smart inventory pilot for monitoring the transportation path, location and stop time of each truck in the fleet. In this project, drivers’ acceleration and braking, speed violations and accidents and fuel consumption were monitored. Also, the goods condition in the refrigerator and the time and place of delivery of the goods were monitored. In case of traffic in unauthorized places, the system would give an alarm.

Sometimes companies get their raw materials from two sources with two different analyses. Due to similar appearance of these materials, it is not possible to identify them after loading. By monitoring the trucks travel path, it is possible to find out their location of loading. In this pilot project, the loading location of trucks from two eastern and western mine and the delivery location of trucks were monitored and the report was sent to the main system.
Microheater Project
Microheaters are small heaters with high power and precise control that can provide temperatures beyond 1000°C. Microheaters provide precise high temperature control. The heating method of micro heaters is to convert electrical power into high density heat. These microstructures are used in various equipment such as electron microscopes, pressure cells, fuel cell heat source electronic substrate heating, RF applications, gas microtube heating, optical fiber, smell sensors, material testing and identification, gas exchangers, etc. The goal of this project was to build a micro heater with a heating temperature of 400 °C in 20 msec at 2.5v.
Acceleration Switch
The function of acceleration switches is to activate a system when a certain acceleration level is sensed. For example, at the time of accident, this switch activates the vehicle airbag. In racing cars, the inertia switch is used to cut off the fuel flow during a crash to prevent a fire. The purpose of this project was to make inertial keys.
Bolus Project
Bolus is a smart tool fed to livestock. This tool can only be used for livestock with rumen (cattle, camel sheep, rams, etc.). Depending on the type of blues, mobility, temperature, GPS, and pH sensors are installed on it.The aim of this project is to install bolus on 10 cows in the Abureyhan campus of Tehran University in order to monitor cows’ conditions and develop an AI system for automatic detection of location, disease, estrus, pregnancy, calving time and water/food intake.
