An affordable Internet of Things Training Kit for practical work of industrial automation

Abstract

The need for practical equipment in the vocational high school (VHS) program is necessary. However, due to some difficulties such as the pricey of available training kit in the market caused that most student could not get appropriate practical work equipment. One of the important facilities is a training kit that encouraged the student to learn the Internet of Things. This study describes the design of the Internet of Thing Training Kit based on ESP-32 (IoTTK32). A set of IoT training module has been designed. Through research and development approach, the researcher has constructed a low-cost IoT trainer that can be used in industrial practical work. The results of the examination show that produced IoT kit could be used in formal practical work of industrial automation related to the industrial 4.0 evolution.
