Prototyp innowacyjnego, centralnego systemu monitoringu źródeł gazów medycznych
Streszczenie
W artykule przedstawiono założenia projektu i implementację systemu monitoringu instalacji gazów medycznych, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem ich źródeł. System koncentruje się na monitorowaniu kluczowych elementów infrastruktury, takich jak stacja sprężonego powietrza medycznego i technicznego, stacja pomp próżniowych. Głównym celem było stworzenie scentralizowanego systemu monitoringu z intuicyjnym interfejsem użytkownika, stanowiącego pierwszy etap w kierunku implementacji kompleksowego rozwiązania chmurowego na skalę krajową oraz kolekcjonowania danych na potrzeby późniejszego wykorzystania w trenowaniu algorytmów predykcyjnych AI. Opracowany prototyp integruje urządzenia różnych producentów, wykorzystując protokoły komunikacyjne RS-485 MODBUS oraz analogowe czujniki ciśnienia. System wykorzystuje infrastrukturę chmurową jako centrum danych, transmisję MQTT oraz bazę danych przystosowaną do gromadzenia znacznych ilości danych – szeregów czasowych. Wdrożony prototyp umożliwia szybką analizę danych, stałą obserwację, powiadamianie oraz podejmowanie natychmiastowych działań w przypadku awarii. Stanowi on fundamentalny krok w kierunku stworzenia ogólnokrajowego systemu monitoringu instalacji gazów medycznych, co może znacząco przyczynić się do podniesienia standardów opieki zdrowotnej i bezpieczeństwa w obiektach szpitalnych.

An Innovative Prototype of a Central Monitoring System for Medical Gas Supply Sources
Abstract
The article presents the assumptions of the project and the implementation of a monitoring system for medical gas installations, with particular emphasis on their source systems. The system focuses on monitoring key elements of the infrastructure, such as medical and technical compressed air stations and vacuum pump stations. The primary objective was to develop a centralized monitoring system with an intuitive user interface, constituting the first stage toward the implementation of a comprehensive nationwide cloud-based solution, as well as the collection of data for future use in training predictive AI algorithms. The developed prototype integrates devices from multiple manufacturers, utilizing RS-485 MODBUS communication protocols and analog pressure sensors. The system employs cloud infrastructure as a data center, MQTT-based data transmission, and a database designed for the storage of large volumes of time-series data. The implemented prototype enables rapid data analysis, continuous monitoring, alerting, and immediate response in the event of system failures. It represents a fundamental step toward the creation of a nationwide monitoring system for medical gas installations, which may significantly contribute to improving healthcare standards and safety in hospital facilities.
