Steering of Lab Machines Utilizing Arduino based IoT and Mobile Application

Abstract

Currently, the world is digitized, every machine is operated and controlled through electronic smart devices. Moreover, the main objective of engineering students is to work on different machines in labs to perform various tasks experimentally. Some of the installed machines in labs are dangerous which can hurt the students as a result of any tiny mistake. Thus, Managing and controlling the lab machines are necessary to increase safety during experimental work. In this paper, the Arduino technology based on the internet of things (IoT) is evaluated experimentally for steering the lab machines using a mobile app which supports different kinds of languages and various styles of accent. This model is enabled to steer the machines with the help of wired and wireless mechanisms. The Controlling of long-distance objects by using existing power lines is also analyzed in this paper. Finally, the proposed model is compared with various current safety mechanisms to analyze the efficiency of the proposed model.
