Descriptive functionality
In addition to the bonding of multiple networked devices, picoHUB is also responsible for data logging functions. Short term memory and Deep memory logging functions are realized within this sub-system since all data passes through picoHUB at some stage during the information flowing through the machine. The picoHUB has specially developed Step Change, Rate of Change and Periodic Sampling capabilities that allow the capture of Big Data and Little Data live on the fly.
The picoHUB processor is further responsible for on-machine analytics since the automation system requires live real-time measurements to make critical decisions. Presenting cumulative and integral measurements of metrics necessitated as input to the automated decision-making process is accommodated by the picoHUB analytics calculation engines.
The picoHUB integrates Wi-Fi communication to facilitate high bandwidth – short-range connectivity.
The connectivity is provisioned between the vehicle and the mining communication infrastructure, and for vehicle-to-vehicle connectivity. Specialized high-level protocols allow data to transact opportunistically as well as continuously so suit all possible data networking models.
The picoHUB also integrates an array of high-performance internal sensors, including vibration, temperature & humidity. These sensor measurements are for on-the-fly operation decisions, such as built-in test and protection monitoring, as well as for remote viewing purposes.
