Systems and methods for monitoring obstructions in a conduit of a stamping environment

A system for monitoring obstructions of a conduit of a stamping environment, the system comprising:

• one or more processors and one or more nontransitory computer-readable mediums comprising instructions that are executable by the one or more processors, wherein the instructions include:
• obtaining stamping system process identification data from a stamping system data controller and vibration data from one or more vibration sensors disposed at the conduit, wherein the conduit is one of a chute and an evacuation tube;
• selecting a baseline vibration threshold and a frequency filter from among a plurality of frequency filters based on the stamping system process identification data;
• generating a plurality of measured vibration values based on the vibration data and the frequency filter, wherein each measured vibration value from among the plurality of measured vibration values is associated with a given iteration from among a plurality of iterations of a stamping process;
• determining whether the conduit is in an obstructed state based on a comparison between a set of measured vibration values from among the plurality of measured vibration values and the baseline vibration threshold;
• and
• performing a corrective action in response to the conduit being in the obstructed state.
