IoT based industrial automation and monitoring

This is a real-world scenario where IoT is being used to solve the problems.

Pharmaceutical industry boilers are a critical component of any processing plant. Boilers used in the pharma industry must be extremely precise, which means it has high-temperature control demands.

Pharmaceutical companies need the boiler to generate steam for the working process. And it is necessary to maintain the temperature levels within a certain limit, which is mandated by the end-use application.

The temperature of the Boilers is usually controlled by 2 systems:

• Thermostat
• Airflow ducts to the boiler. The temperature of the airflow is controlled by a knob which ranges from Low to High.

It is critically important to inform the Plants Management about any abrupt changes in the temperature of the boilers.

A product on the Bolt Cloud to monitor the data from the LM35 is created. Select a Data collection rate of 30 seconds and link it to your Bolt Device.

Alerts are created to send notifications for values exceeding the threshold. With this objective, you will allow the Entire plant management to be alerted via SMS and Email. Keeping everyone updated regarding the fluctuations so that necessary measures will be taken based on it.

Another product is created to control the knob of the temperature controller using servo motor. An app in Bubble.io can be created with three buttons to change position of the knob. With this objective, you will allow the Plant manager to control the boiler temperature via the bubbles app. He will be able to use it on any device which supports a browser.

Create another product for detection system similar to the Intruder Detection system. Another app with two buttons can be created in Bubble.io to open or lock the door. With this objective, the manager will receive an SMS alert when a worker comes near the Boiler plant door. He can then verify the worker and authorize them to enter by using the link of the bubble app on their phone.

With this, it can be enabled that the Plant Engineers can foresee temperature fluctuations and take the necessary action well in advance.
