Development of an IoT-based Real-Time Temperature and Humidity Monitoring System for Factory Electrical Panel Rooms

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) based systems are used for monitoring the status of inventory and components including variables such as temperature and humidity, in order to maintain their quality under ideal conditions. These IoT devices can also provide real-time monitoring of quality of components, identifying any defects and issuing alerts if quality criteria are not upheld throughout the manufacturing process.This study presents the development and implementation of an IoT-based Real-Time Temperature and Humidity Monitoring System specifically designed for Industrial Electrical Panel Rooms. In the backdrop of industrial automation advancements, there is a significant need for real-time monitoring systems to ensure efficiency and safety. The proposed system establishes the capabilities of the IoT to offer a network of interconnected devices that can communicate, share data, and provide real -time feedback. The system's methodology consists of three pivotal stages: data acquisition using the "DHT22" temperature sensor, data transmission through both wired and wireless means, and user alert mechanisms that trigger email notifications when predefined temperature thresholds are exceeded. The system was tested in an actual factory environment, demonstrating its potential to mitigate risks associated with humidity disturbances and overheating in electrical panel rooms. The research highlights the significance of IoT in enhancing industrial safety and operational efficiency.
