IoT Industry Automation Using Raspberry Pi

Description

Industries have increasingly adopted automation technologies to minimize manual intervention and enhance operational efficiency. Our proposed system introduces an advanced internet-based industry automation solution using Raspberry Pi and IoT Gecko for development. This setup allows a single industry operator to control industrial appliances remotely via the internet, providing a seamless interface for automation. The system leverages the Raspberry Pi for processing and managing circuit loads, while IoT Gecko serves as the web server interface, facilitating remote control and monitoring of industrial loads.

Key Features

• Remote Control: Operators can control industrial machines and appliances from anywhere in the world using IoT Gecko’s web-based interface.
• Web Server Interface: IoT Gecko provides a user-friendly web interface for sending commands and monitoring system status.
• Real-time Command Processing: Raspberry Pi processes commands received over the internet and executes them in real-time.
• User Feedback: Commands and system status are displayed on an LCD screen connected to the Raspberry Pi.
• Automation of Loads: The system can switch industrial loads on or off based on user commands, achieving automation and efficiency.
• Wi-Fi Connectivity: Raspberry Pi uses Wi-Fi to connect to the internet, ensuring seamless communication with the IoT Gecko interface.
