Abstract
The shift from conventional manufacturing facilities to intelligent manufacturing facilities is a topic of significant interest due to its profound and enduring implications for the evolution of manufacturing practices on a global scale. The advent of Industry 4.0 is geared toward advancing the manufacturing sector by facilitating the production of goods with brief product life spans and tailored to individual customer preferences in a financially efficient manner. This paper introduces an Industrial Internet of Things system that powers the ESP32 microcontroller, the Blynk platform, and the ESP-Now protocol for remote monitoring and control of industrial processes. The system aims to improve operational efficiency and data management in industrial settings by addressing challenges associated with communication protocols and user interfaces. The implementation of the system comprises configuring the ESP32 to collect data from several sensors dispersed across factory sites. Integration with the Blynk platform enables real-time data visualization and device management, while the ESP-Now protocol facilitates efficient communication among IoT devices for seamless monitoring and control functionalities. The developed system shows significant advancements in industrial monitoring and control by offering enhanced scalability, interoperability, and adaptability to diverse industrial environments. Monitoring capabilities include weather conditions, motion detection, gas levels, and water quality assessment, with control functionalities extending to regulating water pumps and lamps. Metrics for assessing GUI performance include response time, data visualization accuracy, and user interaction efficiency. Robust encryption protocols and authentication mechanisms are implemented to ensure data security and privacy, enhancing the system's reliability and trustworthiness in industrial applications. The integrated system provides a comprehensive solution for industrial monitoring and control, offering efficient communication, scalability, and data security measures to optimize operational efficiency in diverse industrial environments. The system's advanced features and capabilities position it as a valuable tool for enhancing industrial processes and ensuring seamless data management and control.
