Hybrid IIoT & Arduino IoT Cloud Platform for Continuous Industrial Process Analysis

Hybrid platforms are based on the new technologies of the fourth industrial revolution such as IIoT and cloud computing, which allow local and remote operation. A hybrid system presents a low cost of operation and maintenance. This paper describes the development of a hybrid IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) & Arduino IoT (Internet of Things) Cloud platform for the analysis of continuous industrial process data in real time through the cloud. This procedure offers a more stable and secure control through the new Cloud technology. The IIoT platform consists of industrial equipment and sensors that are controlled through Delta IIoT devices. An Arduino IoT Cloud with ESP32 module has the functionality of a router that allows sending data to the cloud, thereby achieving the control and monitoring of level and temperature variables of a continuous process. With this type of architecture, the industrial sector has great opportunities to improve its competitiveness by being able to analyze large amounts of data collected from sensors. In addition, the hybrid platform guarantees the visibility of the variables in real time from anywhere in the world where connectivity exists. The results are presented in graphs and are promising as there is no data loss in the cloud and data latency is almost negligible.
