The Forgine machine is one of the most important machines for steal production, where its Lubrication flowing amount plays the most critical role. Once the Lubrication flowing is unstable or unusual, the Forgine machine will break down and result in a serious system malfunction. Accordingly, it may need high cost to resolve the problem. The objective of this research is to develop a real-time Lubrication flowing supervisory system. The proposed system can provide the engineer a crucial information regarding the Lubrication flowing status. According to the information, an early warning signal will be sent to the engineer whenever the Lubrication flowing amount is found insufficient or unstable. The proposed system includes the hardware and software. The hardware module just adds a PLC controller as the core controlling unit that collects the Lubrication flowing signal. However, the original hardware system does not change. Besides, we apply LabVIEW package to design the human-interface, especially for the Lubrication flowing monitoring. The information collected by PLC can be provided to the engineer to fix the problem of machine breakdown. Moreover, it can be stored in the PC database for malfunction analysis. Consequently, the potential fault in the Forgine machine can be thus avoided.
