A cyber-physical architecture for industry 4.0-based power equipments detection system

Since conventional methods of power equipment detection suffer from low test efficiency, time-consuming transportation, high security risks and long reporting cycle, it hardly meet the need of highly reliable and efficient detection of power equipments in smart grids. To solve the problem, a cyber-physical architecture for industry 4.0-based power equipments detection system is proposed in this manuscript. It integrates many kinds of technologies, including virtual instrumentation, detection & measurement, mechanical and electrical integration, network communication and mobile client. Power equipment flexible system in this paper contains intelligent test, sample transitions, information management and security technology as a whole. Owing to the overall optimization of detection process, the system can rapidly change detection patterns and adjust detection functions, meeting the needs of 19 kinds electrical devices test and quality inspection, with the advantages of efficiency, flexibility, professionalization, economic, and security. Compared to conventional method and flexible detection technology, the average test saves 2 ~ 3 people, and the detection efficiency is improved at least 300%.
