Labview and Internet of Things (IoT) Based Remote Monitoring of Lab Experiments to Enhance Collaboration between Universities

Abstract

This paper presents the implementation of Remote Monitoring Laboratory system that is used to perform experiment remotely by using Internet of Things. This paper discusses required hardware equipment and software developments for Remote Laboratory. To verify the proposed framework, a room temperature control experiment made available remotely to control the parameters and hardware. The experiment which is made online accessible for students is named Temperature Control System (TCS). The basic idea presented in this paper is to acquire and present data in Lab View and control it by sitting on remote computer. As the experiments take long time to take place in laboratory and during that time a person needs to be present in laboratory to supervise the running experiment. But by making remotely accessible it become easy to supervise by sitting own office and during that time the person can do other tasks meanwhile experiment is running. Live video is also published with remote panel for hardware observation which is setup in laboratory. The results presented in this paper are very satisfactory and reliable.
