Proposal of a Computer System for Verification of the State of Operation of Escalators

Abstract

The objective of the present work is to present a proposal of computer system for verification of the state

of operation of escalator through communication without thread. The computer system proposed in this

work it is composed of an interface installed directly in the panel of control of the escalator with the

objective of collecting information that allow to identify the state of operation of those equipments and

to transmit them for a remote computer through a net structure without thread built under the pattern

Bluetooth. The proposed system makes possible that the periodic inspection of the operation state is

made without the interruption of the service to the public, which only happens when the reading of data

informs some non conformity or in periods established by the manufacturer, for change of pieces for

fatigue. In that way, it is made possible a quality earnings and productivity of the maintenance teams,

which can accomplish a larger amount of inspections with smaller time of execution of the work and an

increase of the time of readiness of the escalator to the users. The present work presents the basic

architecture of hardware and software developed and it discusses subjects of safety and reliability of the

proposed system, the possible productivity earnings for the maintenance teams, as well as the increase of

the time of readiness of the services rendered by escalator front to world indicators of service quality.

Keywords. Escalator, bluetooth, monitor system, maintenance and productivity
