Automated GNSS-based data and process management for composting plants
Duration: 01.10.2021 bis 30.09.2023
Commercial composting in Austria is regulated by the Compost Ordinance [1]. At composting plants, the material to be processed is piled up in triangular windrows and turned regularly during composting with the help of compost turners. Each individual triangular windrow must be precisely documented in order to be able to prove which source material was used to produce the compost. In addition, the Austrian Compost Ordinance stipulates that the temperature of the triangular windrows must be measured and documented daily. This extensive measurement and documentation process, which is currently carried out manually, involves a considerable and increasing amount of work.
The ANDREA project (Automated GNSS-supported data and process management for composting plants) aims to develop a concept for an automated management system for composting that reduces the measurement and documentation effort for compost producers. In the project, the temperature measurements required by the Compost Ordinance are to be carried out directly by a compost turner and georeferenced using GNSS-based trajectory determination. The measurements will then be mapped in a management system for composting, which should give compost producers a better overview of the composting process.
The innovative content of the project can be demonstrated for several aspects. Firstly, a new measurement concept must be designed that makes it possible to measure the temperature of the compost directly on the compost turner during the turning process. In order to automate the processes in the best possible way, an innovative navigation module is being further developed for the compost turner. This will calculate complex routes and steer the compost turner along the pre-calculated routes. The degree of autonomy is to be increased by expanding the GNSS-based positioning module to include obstacle detection. In addition, imaging sensors for night-time operation are being investigated so that the battery-powered compost turner can be charged with solar power during the day and then carry out measurements as autonomously as possible at night. In order to achieve innovative traceability of the compost, its mixing before and after compost turning will be investigated in detail using the coupled discrete element method and displayed in the data management system.
The aim is to find out to what extent the documentation effort resulting from the provisions of the Compost Ordinance can be reduced by automated, GNSS-supported processes. A clear data management system should give compost producers a better overview of the composting process and thus increase the efficiency of composting plants. This can reduce the emission of harmful greenhouse gases such as methane.

NekoS 3iS Intelligent-Cloud-Maintenance
Duration: 01.01.2018 bis 30.06.2020
The main objective of the R&D cooperation project "3iS" is the development of intelligent idler roller stations for recording real-time status variables and their transmission using a long-range low-power wireless network (LoRa™ WAN) in the license-free 868 MHz band. The R&D project also includes the development of a method for the stochastic evaluation of real-time status variables for idler roller stations using cloud-based technologies for the early detection of bearing damage as part of the condition-based maintenance of large-scale opencast mining equipment.
The planned project is designed to run for 2.5 years. An SME (AKT) and a research institution (OVGU) are involved in the realization of the development. In addition, an associated partner (LEAG) is involved in the project to support the development of a practicable solution.
The envisaged R&D project is an R&D project that emerged from the ZIM network "NekoS" and will be supported in its implementation by the network management facility ZPVP, Zentrum für Produkt-, Verfahrens- und Prozessinnovation GmbH/Experimentelle Fabrik Magdeburg.

Sensing Idler Development of self-sufficient measuring idler collectives for condition-based maintenance of conveyor systems
Duration: 01.04.2016 bis 31.10.2016
The aim of the project is to develop idlers with integrated temperature monitoring electronics. The aim is to prevent belt fires due to roller bearings running hot. To this end, the current bearing temperature on each side of the idler roller is to be permanently measured and compared with the prevailing ambient temperature. In order to eliminate environmental influences caused by different levels of solar radiation, the temperatures of several idler stations are to be aggregated to form an idler collective. This makes it possible to effectively identify defective bearings in idlers.

SimBa - Software system for holistic simulation of component loads and stresses on construction machinery and conveyor systems
Duration: 01.09.2013 bis 31.08.2015
Computer simulation of components has become firmly established in today's development process for modern machines and systems in construction machinery and conveyor technology. Using the finite element method (FEM), component stresses can be simulated before a prototype is even produced. However, this requires detailed load assumptions as input variables. The dynamic loads in mining and conveying processes depend to a large extent on the soil or material being conveyed. These loads can be reliably simulated using the Discrete Element Method (DEM). For many machines and systems, it is also necessary to consider the often complex kinematics in order to capture the real movement behavior of the relevant components and any dynamic effects that may occur. As part of this project, a software interface for the coupled
DEM-MKS-FEM simulation
developed on the basis of widely used simulation programs. The interface algorithms are scientifically verified and the simulation results experimentally validated to prove their suitability for practical use. The interface makes it possible for the first time to simulate component loads and stresses at structural level for construction machinery (e.g. shovels, milling machines) and conveyor systems (belt conveyors, bucket elevators) with realistic, dynamic load assumptions.

Development of intelligent idler roller garlands to increase energy efficiency and reduce noise emissions
Duration: 01.05.2011 bis 30.04.2013
The aim of the research project is to make the design of idlers for belt conveyors more energy-efficient and quieter. Belt conveyors are used in all branches of industry for the internal realization of small to very large mass flows. . Increasingly stringent environmental requirements demand new technologies so that conveyor systems consume less energy and therefore produce less (02.
The development of an idler roller garland that adapts to the loading of the belt, a so-called "intelligent garland", could drastically reduce the energy consumption and belt misalignment of such systems. The intelligent suspension of the garlands can be expected to increase the service life of the idlers due to more even closure. The elastic suspension of the garland also considerably reduces noise emissions, which reduces the burden on people and the environment in the vicinity of belt conveyors. The project aims to develop such an intelligent garland, test it on a test rig under real operating conditions and optimize it for industrial use.
