Abstract

Hydraulic distribution systems (HDS) are widely used in the Mechatronics industry to drive manufacturing machines, heavy-duty vehicles, equipment, and distribute fluids automatically with control valves and pipelines/horses. The absence of smart sensors, valves, and cylinders hinder the reporting of real-Time state information about hydraulic motion controllers and pipeline networks. Legacy HD lacks active and structured communication protocols like Ethernet-IP. Unfortunately, these hydraulic flow systems are poorly designed during large-scale deployment at both residential and industrial areas. Cases of leakages and failures still abound. In some cases, there are no reference standards for IoT integration with fluid flow systems. In this paper, Volumetric IoT (V-IoT) sensors are introduced to monitor hydraulic flow systems leveraging route genetic algorithm. A state diagram for leakage amplitude monitoring is presented. Considering its node-To-node connectivity for steady-state monitoring, the enhanced V-IoT, with Genetic and Fibonacci algorithms offered leakage amplitude of 23.07%, 30.77%, and 46.16% respectively.
