Travel Mis-Operation Prevention Using Automatic Warning System for Excavator

Abstract

Excavator is one of the typess of heavy equipment for digging, moving and loading materials to the dump truck. The undercarriage is the most extensive damage components in excavators. The travel usage errors may increase the potential damage to the undercarriage. This paper proposes Travel mis-operation prevention to avoid damage the undercarriage using automatic warning system through travel time and temperature monitoring. The experiment’s results shows that there is a significant relationship between travel time and temperature rise in motor travel. To minimize travel operation errors by operators and excavator’s damage, both operating conditions above also be known by supervisor or control room using application of Internet of think (IoT) technology.
