A smart approach on collecting working condition data from home appliances under the field test

Abstract

This study presents management of the data that are taken from the home appliances which are in the field test process. Field test process means collecting the data from the device by sensors, the measurement from environment, then evaluation of this information. This information depends on climate, altitude, user profile etc. Major application area of this study is home appliances sets and their domestic field test process. Also, this smart approach can be applied to any system including any electrical equipment in smart grid. Only 2 different requirements should be covered. (i) Device Under Test (DUT) should work with the specialized test box to send working condition data and environmental measurements. (ii) GSM network should be alive in field test location. This study shows a new smart approach which relies on sending the field test data and environmental conditions over the GSM. The selection reason of GSM communication protocol in this study is the coverage percentage of this protocol is wider than others. © 2017 IEEE.
