Power monitoring based on industrial internet of things

Abstract

Monitoring has always been of crucial importance for industries, and it has been useful when getting notifications about critical parameters reaching threshold and alerts pertaining to failure of a specific device becomes a necessity. Traditional approaches are used to solve this problem, nevertheless generally deploy and maintenance the solutions based on that approaches are high-cost. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm that covers a wide range of topics in the information-based era. One of the sectors which is particularly optimistic about the IoT future growth is the industry. This work aims to develop an IoT-based power-monitoring prototype as an alternative to the existing solutions. According with the last, a three-tier architecture for Industrial IoT applications is described and is used to implement the prototype. The presented solution is low-cost, enables real-time power-monitoring and allows to show the benefits of Internet of Things over Industrial tasks.
