Abstract

In this modern era, people have succeeded in developing machineries and complex equipments, which work without any human intervention. Though these machines are very expensive they are perfectly capable of working continuously for days together which increases the productivity as well as maintain consistency in the manufacturing industries. This also reduces human effort as well as decreases the manpower required in manufacturing units. The only concern in using these expensive machineries is that it requires proper maintenance. In this paper, the authors have made an attempt to monitor and control industrial equipments remotely by developing an Internet of Things (IoT) device, which is capable of extracting the real time data, such as temperature, pressure, voltage, etc., depending on the equipments and its complexities. This device is enriched with sensors and communication protocols which makes it easier to extract the data as well as send the data to different means, such as web server applications, mobile applications, normal text messages from which the user can view the data. Also user can send data to this device and control the equipments remotely. This device is very compact, easily portable and at the same time it is very accurate, efficient, reliable and economical. With all these capabilities in a single device it can be assured that it has vast application in manufacturing and automobile industries.
