Abstract
Currently, the calibration of burn-in chambers used in a HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) production line requires an engineer to manually monitor temperatures at the hybrid temperature recorders throughout the entire period of calibration process. 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, this paper describes the prototype development of hybrid temperature recorder monitoring system implemented to improve the current manual calibration process of burn-in chamber. The work in this paper applies an objectoriented analysis and design methodology (OOADM) in the development process. The proposed system comprises two subsystems, i.e., a temperature recording subsystem and a monitoring subsystem, interconnected through a wireless network. The temperature recording subsystem performs capturing temperatures from sensors inside the burn-in chamber and sending the temperature data to a central server at the monitoring subsystem in the engineering office for monitoring in real-time. When the errors occur during the calibration process, the alarm signal is displayed and sent to the engineer for alerting. Furthermore, the temperature data is stored in a database for future verification and reference. © 2010 IEEE.
