FBG Sensing Technology for the Production Process Monitoring of Industrial Products

In the industrial automation industry, monitoring the production process of various industrial products is crucial for ensuring quality, efficiency, and safety. Fiber grating sensing technology has emerged as a highly effective means of detecting changes in physical quantities in real-time, allowing for better monitoring and control of the production process. This article, we will discuss the problems that fiber grating sensing technology can solve, and how Beijing Dacheng Yongsheng Technology Co., Ltd.(short for DCYS ) can support the production process monitoring of industrial products in the industrial automation industry.

Fiber Bragg Grating Sensing Principle:

Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are periodic structures that are inscribed in the core of an optical fiber. These structures reflect a specific wavelength of light that is determined by the periodicity of the grating. When the grating is subjected to mechanical or thermal strain, the reflected wavelength changes in a predictable manner. By monitoring the reflected wavelength, changes in strain, temperature, and other parameters can be detected. FBG sensors can be used to monitor a wide range of parameters, including strain, stress, temperature, and vibration.

Necessity of Monitoring the Production Process:

Monitoring the production process of various industrial products is necessary for ensuring quality, efficiency, and safety. In the industrial automation industry, the production process can involve complex machinery, high temperatures, and hazardous materials. Monitoring the production process in real-time allows for early detection of problems, reducing downtime and preventing costly production failures. Additionally, monitoring can ensure that the product is being produced to the desired specifications, reducing waste and increasing efficiency.

Difficulties in Monitoring the Production Process of Various Industrial Products in the Industrial Automation Industry:

The industrial automation industry faces several challenges in monitoring the production process of various industrial products. One of the significant issues is the harsh environment in which the sensors are placed. Most industrial products are produced in environments that are highly corrosive, high temperature, and high pressure, which can damage sensors and their associated hardware.

Another significant challenge is the ability to accurately measure the parameters involved in the production process. Most of the traditional sensors used in the industrial automation industry are prone to drift and require regular calibration to maintain accuracy. This is not only time-consuming but can also lead to costly downtime and reduced productivity.
