A web-based IoT solution for monitoring data using MQTT protocol

In this paper, a web-based Internet of things solution aimed for monitoring, tracking and analyzing data in agriculture area is proposed. The purpose of the presented solution is to facilitate monitoring of different manufacturing process in mentioned area using IoT technologies. A real time data is achieved using broker-based publishing/subscribing Message Queue Telemetry Transport protocol which is briefly described. Using this protocol limitations resulting from constrained networks in rural areas are avoided. Collected data from sensors is shown and stored in web part of the information system. An architecture of the web application is described as a client-server three-tier architecture in which the graphical user interface (presentation layer), application functions and logic (application layer) and computer data storage (database layer) are developed and maintained as independent modules, on separate platforms. This type of implementation is developed by the manufacturers need for monitoring and tracking data. This architecture is based on future concrete implementation, at least in segments, in several agricultural facilities in Virovitica-Podravina County.
