Issue
Having created the market for personal vibration monitoring devices, customers requested a lower cost device which was simpler to deploy. This resulted in Reactec taking the bold step of moving measurement from tool to the individual. Optimising battery life and measurement performance was crucial to the success of the device.
Solution
To both optimise battery life and accurately capture the vibration measurement, Xi determined the vibration transmissibility of the human hand and arm. Based on this, understanding battery life was optimised based on a sensitivity analysis performed by Xi to optimise processer power and measurement accuracy.
Skill Sets Used
- Shaker table testing and measurement
- Vibration Analysis
- Numerical analysis
