Abstract

Industrial machinery operating in manufacturing and process environments is frequently subjected to adverse operating conditions such as excessive temperature rise, abnormal current consumption, and mechanical vibrations, which may lead to performance degradation, unexpected failures, production losses, and safety hazards. To address these challenges, this paper presents the design and implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled real-time machine health monitoring and protection system based on the ESP32 microcontroller platform. The proposed system integrates a DHT11 sensor for temperature and humidity monitoring, an ACS712 Hall-effect sensor for current measurement, and an MPU9250 inertial measurement unit (IMU) for vibration analysis. Sensor data are continuously acquired, processed, and transmitted through Wi-Fi to a cloud-based Firebase Realtime Database, enabling remote access and centralized monitoring. A responsive web dashboard hosted on GitHub Pages provides real-time visualization of machine operating parameters, status indicators, and fault notifications. To enhance operational safety and equipment reliability, threshold-based fault detection algorithms are implemented to identify abnormal operating conditions. When predefined critical limits are exceeded, the ESP32 automatically initiates protective actions by disconnecting the machine through a relay module, activating a visual alarm, and updating the fault status on the cloud platform. The dashboard additionally supports bidirectional communication, allowing authorized operators to remotely restart the machine, while a local push-button interface enables manual system recovery. Furthermore, the developed platform incorporates a browser-based logging mechanism that records timestamped sensor measurements, machine status transitions, fault events, and downloadable CSV trend data for maintenance analysis and performance evaluation. Experimental validation demonstrates reliable real-time monitoring with a data refresh interval of approximately 3 s, accurate threshold-based fault detection, dependable cloud connectivity, and effective remote supervisory control. The proposed solution offers a low-cost, scalable, and practical framework for predictive maintenance and industrial equipment condition monitoring in smart manufacturing environments.

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN IoT-BASED SMART ENERGY METER WITH REAL-TIME MONITORING AND MATLAB-BASED DATA ANALYTICS

Conventional electricity metering systems are limited by their inability to provide real-time monitoring, remote access, and accurate information on energy consumption, which in turn reduces the efficiency of energy management and billing processes. This study aimed to design and implement an Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart energy meter capable of real-time monitoring and MATLAB-based data analytics. A prototype development methodology was adopted, using an ESP32 microcontroller integrated with ACS712 current and ZMPT101B voltage sensors, an LCD module, Wi-Fi communication, and the Blynk cloud platform. Electrical parameters were measured under varying load conditions and transmitted wirelessly for remote monitoring, while MATLAB was used to analyse and visualise the collected data. The developed system successfully measured voltage, current, power, and energy consumption, with recorded values of approximately 220 V, 0.40–1.20 A, 88–264 W, and 0.088–0.264 kWh, respectively. The graphical outputs clearly illustrated voltage stability, load variation, instantaneous power consumption, and cumulative energy usage, thereby improving users’ ability to monitor electrical energy in real time. Although slight measurement deviations caused by sensor calibration, signal noise, and network dependence were observed, the system demonstrated reliable performance throughout the testing period. The findings indicate that integrating IoT technology with cloud communication and MATLAB analytics provides a practical, low-cost, and scalable solution for intelligent energy monitoring. The study concludes that the proposed system offers significant improvements over conventional metering systems by enabling continuous monitoring, remote access, and informed energy management. Future work should focus on improving sensor calibration, incorporating artificial intelligence for predictive energy analysis, supporting three-phase installations, and providing offline data storage to further enhance system reliability and scalability.

The increasing demand for renewable energy has highlighted the need for efficient and reliable management of solar power plants. Solar plants, whether residential or industrial, require continuous monitoring to ensure optimal performance, detect faults, and maximize energy generation. Manual supervision is often time-consuming, prone to errors, and insufficient for detecting real-time anomalies. To address these challenges, this paper presents an IoT-based Solar Plant Monitoring System that enables remote, real-time observation and management of solar energy systems. The proposed system integrates sensors, microcontrollers, and IoT-enabled communication modules to collect key parameters such as solar panel voltage, current, temperature, and battery status. These parameters are transmitted over the internet to a centralized cloud platform, allowing plant operators to monitor system performance from any location using smartphones, laptops, or tablets. Alerts are generated automatically in case of abnormal readings, such as low voltage, panel overheating, or battery faults, facilitating proactive maintenance and minimizing downtime. By leveraging IoT technology, the system not only improves the efficiency and reliability of solar power generation but also reduces operational and maintenance costs. The proposed system supports data logging, historical analysis, and performance optimization. Additionally, the integration of cloud-based monitoring ensures scalability and flexibility, allowing expansion to multiple solar plants and large-scale installations.

A multi-sensor IoT framework for real-time detection and prevention of sewage gas explosions in domestic and occupational sanitation systems

Introduction: Methane and toxic gases build up in sewer pipes and septic tanks and are extremely dangerous in their ability to cause explosions and poisoning to workers in the confined sewer. The traditional monitoring controls, like infection ventilation and human checking, cannot be used to offer real-time protection. Methods: In this work, the authors show an Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled cyber-physical system of real-time gas detection and automated mitigation. The system combines the MQ-4 (methane), MQ-135 (CO2 /NH 3/VOCs), and MQ-136 (H2S) sensors and place on the ESP32 microcontroller. A moving average-based compensation method is used to stabilize a sensor in contaminated conditions with minimum recalibration requirements. Alerts and ventilation are activated when methane reaches over 25% of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) using MQTT, in accordance with OSHA and NFPA safety requirements. Results: Testing with 250 cases indicated that the system is reliably able to detect hazards, alert, and mitigate without failure. The response time was 8.2 seconds on average, which is a safeguard against gas buildup. Multi-gas sensitivity (±18% was within a reasonable range, and the system was able to run on backup power up to 18 hours. Conclusion: The offered IoT system would turn the sanitation safety from passive observation to active protection due to real-time multi-gas detection and automated response. It offers an affordable yet scalable way of ensuring occupational safety within dangerous confined spaces.
