AUTOMATION IN FURNACE IN COMBINATION WITH IOT

Mechanical Engineering

Nowadays we all use electric furnaces for heat treatment. When we work in this furnace, it involves putting a piece of work in the furnace by hand. To achieve various mechanical properties, set the correct temperature and time and then periodically inspect the inside of the furnace and remove the work piece when the process is complete. All these processes are done manually. After the heat treatment process is completed, the work piece must be cooled to obtain the required physical properties and mechanical properties such as stiffness, strength, elasticity, etc. To automate all of the above operations using the forklift mechanism which will be useful in automation of operations. Also the quenching process is carried out automatically with the help of rack and pinion system. We're using the ESP8266 node MCU Wi-Fi model and the Arduino board to keep the Internet of Things afloat if the furnace is off at night. After this we can control the furnace via mobile. In this we are monitoring and controlling the furnace directly via mobile using various sensors like thermocouple, proximity, thermistor and IR sensors. With this we have been able to overcome the cause of the furnace malfunction, all this we have done with the help of the Internet of Things (IOT).
