1 www.arrowhead.eu Task 1.10 LKAB Iron Ore 0 Gerard McGoogan SKF

2 www.arrowhead.eu Task 1.10 - Condition monitoring of transportation systems 1 Task leader SKF Contributors: RTC, LKAB, Boliden, SKF, LTU, EISTEC Start: M1 - End: M45 Goals: Energy management of embedded sensors Communication from enclosed locations Data and information security Integration to SOA enabling service and device configuration and system integration

3 www.arrowhead.eu Task 1.10 – Iron ore Rail line 2 Pilot will be from LKAB mine in Malmberget to Lulea

4 www.arrowhead.eu Task 1.10 – Pilots 3 Three phases for 2013-2014 Phase one October 2013 install 8 end to check for interconnectivity and general operation. Leave endcaps to successfully survive Swedish winter April 2014 Installed 16 end caps for extended trial to gather data on track and bearing conditions. Plan to run for 3 months Q4 2014 Extended trial with multiple wagons.

5 www.arrowhead.eu Task 1.10 – Smart Endcap Pre pilots at LKAB 4 October 2013 install 8 end caps for a week. Leave endcaps to survive Swedish winter April 2014 Installed 16 end caps Supported 2 modes of operation – network and stand alone Plan to run for 3 months

6 www.arrowhead.eu Task 1.10 – a short video 5 See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfrZuV5gNCMhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfrZuV5gNCM Wireless system is pink end cap at around 20 seconds

7 www.arrowhead.eu Original Concept 6 Add Condition Monitoring such that we can measure the real operating conditions a bearing is experiencing and wirelessly transmit the results back to the driver and/or train maintenance operations team Mount the wireless nodes to each wheel The wireless mesh network forms automatically over the journey of the train Wagon Router Smart TBU

8 www.arrowhead.eu Experience! 7 Wireless performance not as good in field as in lab Lack of access to trains limits test options Time to form mesh is unacceptable (20 WirelessHart nodes = 3 hours!) Long thin network (560 nodes) easily become clogged Mesh reforms dynamically which is a problem on train

9 www.arrowhead.eu Next Steps 8 Extend 1 year pilot starting Q4 2014 using Malmberget to Lulea line. Current system uses WirelessHart; Link to Arrowhead framework is via OPC-UA and PC software Possibly move Arrowhead frame work down to node levels Current system uses primary batteries. Move to power harvesting with improved power management (8.5.1) Improve methods of coping with wireless links (8.4.1) Optimise wireless link quality via modelling and validation (8.4.2)
