    (Bells University of technology, Ota, 2022-08-10) AINA, Yusuf Amuda; Dr. B. A. Bello
    Maintenance is an activity to ensure that production line equipment are in satisfactory condition and reliable. Thus, the optimum goal of maintenance is to ensure that the performance of the equipment is satisfactory by minimizing downtime and reducing cost related to downtime. The complexity of production line has changed the tradition decision- making process regarding maintenance management through the use of artificial intelligent based predictive maintenance in order to make more efficient real-life decision. This study developed a mathematical and machine learning predictive maintenance models using production line parameters to predict machine failure. Fit retrogression model was used as the mathematical model and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy inference system (ANFIS based) was used as the adopted machine learning model. Data obtained from the production line revealed that the fault is subject to production line parameters such as main pressure, operating voltage, current consumption, vibration and temperature. Performing statistical analysis revealed the adequacy of the models with coefficient of determination (R2) of 83.99% for number of fault. Training of datasets with ANFIS revealed a convergence at epoch number of 3, and with minimum root mean square error (RMSE) of approximately zero (0.000161), indicating the significant training approach of the ANFIS training of the dataset. Evaluation of the two models (mathematical and machine learning) showed they give better prediction of the number of faults, as their predicting values were closerU to that obtained from the equipment . Comparatively, machine learning (ANFIS based model) showed better predicting strength compared to the mathematical model. This is because ANFIS adopts the learning and performing system of artificial neural network (ANN) and fuzzy logic.

    Development of Dual-Band E-Patch Microstrip Antenna Using Perturbation and Full-Wave Matching for Wireless Local Area Network Application
    (Bells University of Technology, 2021-08-12) ALFRED-ABAM, Fubara Edmund; Prof. R.I Salawu
    Transmission and reception of signals are associated with antennas which are transducers for either radiating or receiving Electromagnetic (EM) waves. However, a single Microstrip Patch Antenna (MS) exhibits inherent narrow impedance bandwidth which restricts faster communication throughput. This study aimed at developing a dual-band E-patch microstrip antenna using perturbation and full-wave matching for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) application. It examined how the antenna design targets the center operating frequencies of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz for possible range and speed. The transmission line and the full-wave models were employed to analyze the patch antenna and attain the associated input impedance Driving Point Function (DPF) for matching characteristics. This approach was used to quantify the reduction in reflections for improved Radio Frequency (RF) network output. Also, the antenna impedance bandwidth was then compared for the simulated and the fabricated models based on the reflection coefficient. The dimension of the antenna width and length was 31 mm by 25 mm, in which rectangular slots were etched on the patch surface with the possibility of varying the designed slots and feed to attain optimal performance. A 1.5 mm thick Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Flame Retardant 4 (FR4) substrate, with a loss tangent of 0.02 was terminated with a subminiature version A (SMA) connector and a 50 S coaxial cable. A parametric analysis was carried out by using an Advanced Design System (ADS) full-wave simulation tool, on the other hand, the fabricated antenna was tested using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) based on Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), bandwidth, and return loss (Si) performance indices. The results showed that the antenna Si, at the resonating frequencies were - 40 dB and - 35 dB for the simulated lower and higher bands, respectively while the corresponding values obtained for the fabricated model were - 36 dB and - 31 dB. This represents the desired value of the reflected signal based on IBEE Std. 149, having an associated VSWR of less than 2. The obtained EM radiation and antenna efficiencies were 97% and 94%, respectively which justify a properly matched antenna. The results further revealed an impedance bandwidth of 31% and a nearly omnidirectional radiation pattern with a peak directivity and gain of 7.4 dBi and 3 Bi demonstrating a satisfactory radiation property. The lower resonant frequency of the design was 2.4 GHz with a bandwidth of 120 MHz, ranging from 2.35 GHz to 2.47 GHz, while the higher resonant frequency was 5.8 GHz with a bandwidth of 260 MHz ranging from 5.63 GHz to 5.89 GHz signifying a wideband feature. The significance of the E-patch antenna design is that it can contribute to a simultaneous dual-broadband radiation mode useful for high-performance wireless communication with less noise interference, having a forward compatibility with recent Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) technology.

    (Bells University of Technology, 2022-05-12) ALAWODE, Jeremiah Olakunle; Dr.Mrs. Olamide O.Olusanya
    Energy is a major driving force of industrial operations. Virtually nothing can be done without consumption of one or more types of energy or conversion from one form to another by the general law of conversation of energy. Quantifying these energies and accurately costing same has been a major concern as only a rough estimated values are usually assumed. In this research work, digitization of steam energy production and consumption in beverage industry were focused on. In the methodology adopted, flow meters identification and compatibility for energy digitization was ascertained. Initial setup of the flow meter was carried outland each flow meter wired using the digital input terminals selected for the plus input signals. This is responsible for the totalizer value (initially being collected manually and locally from each flow meters). Secondly, the identified pulse input for each flow meter was programmed in the PLC using the ladder logic programming language. This involves creating a unique tag name to identify the flow meter, as well as programming the continuous routine responsible for totalizing the flow per pulse during each flow measurement cycle. Afterwards, the connectivity configurations of each flow meter tags in the server were carried out, the OPC\OLE path is configured to ensure that data from the flow meter through the PLC gets to the digitization server. Finally, the manually obtained data from flow meter is compared with the digitized data from the server. The digital manufacturing operation(DMO)server results and the ones manually collected are compared and analyzed using the SPSS software tool for data analysis . In conclusion, the results show that Digitization of energy production and consumption in Beverage industry' is a practicable solution to solve energy measurement problems in any establishment. This solution can also be extended to other energy utilities such as water, PMS, diesel, gas, and electricity
