Remote monitoring and control of electronic nutrunners with embedded Internet

In this paper, we introduce the advantages of using a microcontroller with embedded Internet to automate and to integrate machines and industrial equipment with supervisory computers and process/production control servers. We also present a real application of electronic nutrunners integration in an engine production line, using devices based on microcontrollers with embedded Internet. This work confirms the facility to develop a system based on this kind of hardware, furthermore it reveals the parallel execution of several different tasks without data loss, thanks to the features offered by a real-time operational system (RTOS). It also confirms the excellent performance-price ratio of the proposed solution against other available solutions on the market.
