Preliminary design and development of industrial inspection e-monitoring system

This paper discusses on the initial design and development of industrial inspection e-monitoring system (IIEMS). IIEMS is an intelligent web-based system that monitors defect occurs in the production line. The defect is collected from targeted machines, which are considered as the most critical one. By setting all the related parameters, defects will be logged into the system. Then, the system will send a message through email and personal data assistant (PDA) to the person in charge. An artificial neural network (ANN) will be used to classify the severity of the defect. According to the result, appropriate actions are performed. Throughout this paper, initial analysis, design and development of the system are explained. This includes the requirement analysis, logical and interface design. In the development phase, an early stage of the system development is reported. An overview of the system prototype and some observations based on the initial results are also discussed.
