Abstract(s)

This paper presents a dual-purpose device for condition-based maintenance (CBM) and for energy harvesting (EH) in IIoT applications. Vibration monitoring in industrial environments is a key indicator for predictive maintenance purposes and for energy harvesting. The paper includes the description of the hardware and software of a flexible platform that permits vibration measurements, vibration sensor calibration and energy harvesting testing. The vibration exciter included in the platform can be controlled by the output signal of a common signal generator. The platform also includes a differential temperature sensor that can gather additional data for CBM purposes. The final part of the paper includes experimental results of a vibration sensor under characterization and of the performance evaluation of a commercial EH module.
