Overheat protection for motor crane hoist using internet of things
N.A. Paduloh, Rifki Muhendra · International Journal of Computer Applications in Technology · 2022
A crane hoist is a material-moving tool and work tool for the production process. The hoist often stops suddenly due to overheating. This condition impacts the production process and safety. This study aims to design a safety device to anticipate the overheating in the hoist. The research began with brainstorming, prioritising AHP and designing products using QFD, and designing systems using UML. The product is designed to use a microcontroller, Arduino, fan and GSM to control the motor temperature and transmit temperature information to the user. The motor cooler will operate if there is a notification of a motor temperature rise. The novelty of this research lies in the decision-making system, product design, and information system design. Thus, this research can produce a safety device that suits company needs, is easy to operate, and prevent overheating effectively.
