Chemical process parameter surveillance using IoT

Abstract

It is observed that in the recent past many technological revolutions, including the transition from the analog world into its digital counterpart and from centralized wired solutions to distributed and pervasive wireless systems. Industrial Monitoring is essential to collect all the relevant information, data and statistics related to the various industrial processes employed in industry premises, in order to ensure optimal resource consumption and to improve production efficiency. In current scenario most of the industrial parameter monitoring equipments and instruments are wired or wireless. The wired instruments depend on manual operation which is the most upcoming issue in the industrial sectors. If the parameters are not monitored properly, it may lead to a harmful situation. The installation process in wired system is difficult and costly. Similarly, the wireless based smart instruments are facing challenges related to lifetime, data loss and coverage issues. In this project, a new solution is adopted for the traditional monitoring of the chemical process tank parameters in industries through the implementation of Internet of things (IoT) which is rapidly developing technology because today’s world is internet world. In this work, the industrial process tank parameters being monitored by NodeMCU. The cost of the controller is less when compared to RF based wireless communicating devices. In this system, the process parameters such as temperature and level are monitored using sensors and accessed through mobile application in remote locations using IoT. Compared to existing wireless instruments the making cost of the proposed system with IoT is lesser with better accuracy.
