Abstract
- Currently, the calibration process of burn-in chambers used in a HDD (Hard Disk Drive) production line requires an engineer to manually monitor temperatures at the hybrid temperature recorders throughout the calibration period. It is a time consuming and inefficient operation, due to a large number of burn-in chambers used in the production line comparing with a limited number of engineers to handle. Therefore, the hybrid temperature recorder monitoring system is developed and implemented to improve the monitoring procedure used in the current calibration process of burn-in chambers. There are two subsystems included, i.e., a temperature recording subsystem and a monitoring subsystem, which are connected through a wireless network. The temperature recording subsystem performs capturing temperatures from probes inside the burn-in chamber and sending the temperature data to the monitoring subsystem. The monitoring subsystem receives the temperature data to store in a central server before processing and displaying to the engineer for monitoring in real-time. The system performance is verified by deploying the system to operate in the actual environment of current calibration process. The operation results are verified and used to reflect the system performance in four sections. As the results obtained, the system yields accurate outcomes for the four sections and can reduce the operation time in the calibration process.
