Optimizacija proizvodnih procesov z uporabo radarskih merilnih tehnologij

Žibert, Aljaž (author), Pušnik, Igor (mentor)

Diplomsko delo se osredotoča na uporabo radarskih merilnih tehnologij za optimizacijo proizvodnih procesov. V uvodu je predstavljena potreba po točnih in zanesljivih meritvah nivoja tekočin v industriji. Sledi poglavje, ki opisuje osnove delovanja radarjev medtem ko tretje poglavje obravnava strukturo radarjev. V četrtem poglavju so podrobno analizirane tehnologije Time of Flight (ToF) in Frequency- Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW), vključno z njihovimi prednostmi, slabostmi in področji uporabe. Peto poglavje obravnava matematične osnove radarskih meritev, kot so vpliv dielektričnosti in algoritmi za odpravljanje motenj. Naslednja poglavja se osredotočajo na praktične izzive, kot so penjenje, kondenzacija in mešanje, ter opisujejo izvedbo nastavitve in kalibracijo radarjev. Zaključno poglavje povzame ugotovitve ter predlaga izboljšave za uporabo radarjev v industriji. Naloga prikazuje, kako radarske tehnologije prispevajo k večji točnosti, zanesljivosti in učinkovitosti v zahtevnih proizvodnih okoljih.

• Title: Optimization of production processes using radar measurement technologies

Abstract

The thesis focuses on the use of radar level measurement technologies to optimize production processes. The introduction highlights the need for accurate and reliable liquid level measurements. The second chapter describes the basics of radar operation, while the third chapter examines radar structure. The fourth chapter provides a detailed analysis of Time of Flight (ToF) and Frequency- Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technologies, including their advantages, limitations, and applications. The fifth chapter discusses the mathematical principles underlying radar measurements, such as the influence of dielectric properties and algorithms for noise reduction. Subsequent chapters address practical challenges like foaming, condensation, and mixing, and describe the procedures for radar calibration and adjustment. The final chapter summarizes the findings and proposes improvements for the industrial use of radar systems. The thesis demonstrates how radar technologies contribute to greater accuracy, reliability, and efficiency in demanding production environments.
