Development of a smartphone app to display data from IoT sensors stored in a cloud database
Wear liners are sacrificial plates installed inside ore processing equipment (chutes, bins, truck trays etc/#) designed to protect the equipment from abrasive damage caused by flowing ore. These liners need to be periodically replaced as they wear. However, it is difficult to know when to replace the liners as they are often installed in locations where it is not easy to conduct a visual inspection, and conducting an inspection would normally require the equipment to be shut down.
WearSense is a system developed by Davies WPS that is capable of measuring the wear on liners in real time and without requiring the equipment to be shut down. Information from the wear sensors installed on the equipment is stored in a cloud database and currently displayed on a web interface. Although this data can be accessed via a web browser on a smartphone, interacting with the website using a smartphone can be problematic.
Davies would like to develop an app that replicates the functionality of the current web interface, but in a way that is optimised for the touchscreen control and form factor of a smartphone. The app should preferable be developed using an IDE (such as Xamarin) that enables delivery across Android, iOS and Windows platforms.
