IoT Based Machine Monitoring System

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a fast evolving technology. IoT refers to a network of physical objects or things that are implanted with electronic software, sensors, and network connectivity, allowing them to collect and exchange data. The internet of things then deals with bringing control of physical devices through the internet. Using the IoT concept, we are designing a system that will automatically monitor industrial applications and create Alerts/Alarms or make intelligent decisions. In our project, a variety of sensors are used to monitor industrial characteristics such as temperature, pressure, gas, and so on. These settings were carefully chosen based on the potential threats they could pose to the normal operation of the industry machine. The sensors utilised in our project are the MQ2 gas sensor, the LM35 flame sensor, the IR sensor, and the PIR sensor. These sensors will collect data and communicate it to the NodeMCU ESP8266, which also functions as a Wi-Fi module.
