Smart Detection and Monitoring of Hydraulic, Coolant and Oil Leakage
Problem Overview
Hydraulic oil, coolant and other fluid leakages or scrap-related spillage around machines can create safety, housekeeping, environmental and maintenance concerns. Leakages may remain unnoticed until they become visually significant. The challenge is to develop an early-detection and monitoring system that identifies leakage/spillage, indicates the affected location and supports timely corrective action.
Industrial Context & Background
Predictive Maintenance / EHS / Industrial IoT
Technical Requirements
1) Detect hydraulic oil/coolant or selected fluids
2) Suitable for machine-shop environment
3) Visual/electronic alarm
4) Zone-wise monitoring
5) Historical event logging
6) Safe and maintainable sensor arrangement
Suggested Technology Stack: Leak Sensors; Computer Vision optional; IoT; Edge Device; Dashboard/Alerts
Expected Solution & Prototype
1) Leak/spillage detection accuracy quantified for selected fluids/areas
2) Detection time from occurrence measured
3) False alarm rate quantified
4) Leakage location/zone automatically identified
5) Response and closure time tracked
6) Reduction in unattended leakage duration demonstrated
