Remote Control and Supervision of a Factory Automation System based on Internet of Things

The paper proposes a new architecture for the control and supervision of a factory automation system based on Internet of Things (IoT). For this purpose, a hardware implementation is done through a Raspberry Pi (Rpi) 3 B+ and a power electronic power interface is developed to control the trainer's actuators. The communication is done adopting secure shell (SSH) protocol to connect the factory trainer to the server. The software solutions are developed under a visual programming environment using Node-Red IBM Platform where a Human Man Interface (HMI) is designed for the IoT application using JavaScript language. The test results show the success of the proposed system.
