Abstract

Currently, there are more than 26 billion devices connected to the Internet of Things. Wireless communication through the internet has been one of the most innovative technologies that the 4.0 industrial revolution has left us. This technology is used in large industries for communication between machines and has applications in everyday life as people seek smart technological devices that provide them with comfort and make their lives easier. The Internet of Things has many more applications; however, this study focuses on WiFi communication from an electronic board to a website, with the aim of identifying the advantages of using IoT boards over other smart control devices. A quantitative approach and a methodology in ‘V’ for the design of mechatronic products were used. The results found were the development of an embedded board, consisting of 3 sensors and a microcontroller, with a Wireless communication using a WiFi NodeMCU module that connects to a website for data monitoring and control, and that is economically viable compared to a PLC. It is concluded that the project is functional for monitoring sensor data remotely, being a low cost and easy maintenance alternative.
