Identification & Detection of Industrial Faults using Arduino Bot

The main purpose of this research study is to provide solutions to faults/hazards/threats that occur in Industry 4.0 with the rise of new technologies, and devices so these problems can be identified and preventive action can be taken before any crisis. These incidents are caused due to leakage of gas, fire, boiler/cylinder explosions, overheating of operating machines, and other manmade disasters or improper handling of chemical, biological and radioactive material, etc. Therefore, it becomes important to identify such incidents at an early stage to prevent major accidents and save the lives of employees in Industry 4.0 and surrounding livelihood. Considering the above scenario, the authors present a solution called Industrial Fault Monitoring Bot. This robot is deployed in the manufacturing plant to monitor safety conditions in different units. The robot swiftly navigates through various units, checks the safety status, and reports this to the safety unit. In this paper, the authors will elaborate on the design, working, and technologies used for it.
