As factory digital transformation accelerates, industrial equipment increasingly requires accurate and continuous monitoring to ensure safe, stable operation and cost efficiency. For industrial fans – especially centrifugal fans, ID/FD fans, dust extraction fans, and high-temperature fans used in cement, metallurgy, chemical, and environmental industries—optimizing operational performance through digital technologies has become more critical than ever.
To address this demand, TOMECO has developed the TOMECO IoT System, a smart industrial fan monitoring solution that enables real-time equipment status tracking, early fault warnings, predictive maintenance, and energy optimization. The system is specifically designed for harsh operating environments in modern industrial plants.
1. Overview of the TOMECO IoT System
The TOMECO IoT System is developed as a comprehensive industrial IoT platform consisting of sensors, gateways, and data analytics software. The solution collects operational data from industrial fans, performs real-time analysis, and provides early alerts to operators.
System Architecture – Three-Layer Structure
1.1. Smart Sensor Layer (IoT Sensors)
Installed directly on industrial fans to collect key parameters, including:
Vibration → fan vibration monitoring
Bearing and motor temperature
Pressure and airflow
Voltage, current, and power consumption (IoT energy monitoring)
Rotational speed and transmission condition
1.2. Data Transmission Layer
Industrial IoT gateway
Communication protocols: MQTT / Modbus
Industrial WiFi / LAN / 4G connectivity
Stable data transmission to the TOMECO IoT Cloud
1.3. Monitoring & Analytics Layer
The TOMECO IoT Cloud software platform enables:
Remote fan monitoring via PC or mobile devices
Early alerts when abnormalities occur
Historical data storage and visualization
Performance comparison over time
Automatic technical report generation
2. Key Monitoring Parameters in the TOMECO IoT System
The system tracks three main groups of operational data:
2.1. Dynamic Monitoring
Shaft and bearing vibration
Abnormal rotor oscillation
Rotational speed
→ This is a critical foundation for predictive maintenance of industrial fans.
2.2. Mechanical Monitoring
Shaft misalignment
Bearing condition
Bearing temperature
Mechanical wear level
→ Particularly effective for IoT-enabled ID/FD fans and IoT dust extraction fans.
2.3. Energy Monitoring (IoT Energy Monitoring)
Voltage and current
Power consumption
Actual operating efficiency under load
→ Enables energy optimization and reduced operating costs for industrial fans.
3. Key Benefits of the TOMECO IoT System
3.1. Early Warning – Reduced Risk of Unexpected Downtime
Continuous data analysis triggers alerts when:
Vibration increases abnormally
Bearings overheat
Motors draw abnormal current
→ Reduces unexpected shutdown incidents by 70–90%.
3.2. Predictive Maintenance
Based on historical data, the system predicts optimal timing for:
Bearing replacement
Dynamic balancing
Shaft alignment inspection
→ Reduces annual maintenance costs by 20–40%.
3.3. Real-Time Energy Optimization
The system analyzes performance and recommends:
Variable speed drive (VSD) adjustments
Airflow regulation based on actual demand
→ Reduces industrial fan energy consumption by 15–30%.
3.4. 24/7 Smart Remote Monitoring
Through the TOMECO IoT Cloud, managers can monitor fan operation anytime, anywhere—especially valuable for plants with multiple workshops or production lines.
3.5. Extended Equipment Lifetime
Early detection of vibration, misalignment, and overheating helps significantly prolong fan service life.
4. Industrial Applications of the TOMECO IoT System
The TOMECO IoT System is compatible with most industrial fan types:
IoT dust extraction fans in wood processing and mineral industries
Smart industrial fans for metallurgy and steel plants
Thanks to its ability to operate under heavy load, high dust levels, and elevated temperatures, the system is particularly valuable for enterprises pursuing factory digital transformation and Smart Factory models.
