IOT INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION USING RASPBERRY PI
ABSTRACT
This page contains the concept of IOT , Industrial automation using IOT and Raspberry pi. In previous
few years, Internet of Things or IOT plays a vital role for new generation automation companies. It helps
to connect everything around you to internet including wearable devices, metering devices and
environmental sensor. Here we can remotely control and monitor industrial device parameters by using
IOT and Raspberry Pi . The Raspberry Pi is used as computer and server, and the coding is done in
Python. Raspberry Pi is a portable, reduced computational platform that can handle a wide range of
applications. Here we propose efficient industry automation system that allows user to efficiently control
industry appliances/machines over the internet.

II. INTRODUCTION
There are many things we hear about industrial internet of things as it is new emerging technology. We
use sensors to continuously monitor industry appliances which is highly impossible to manage by
human.
Today worldwide multitude of Internet connections are devices used directly by humans like
computers and mobile handsets, in other words we can say it’s a human to human communication. In
not a distance future, it’s possible that we can have not only human-human communication but also
device-device communication which is called “Internet of Things” where Things refers to various
electronic devices. The term ‘Internet of Things’ was firstly coined by Kevin Ashton in a presentation
in 1998, he described a IoT as a system where the digital world is connected to the physical world
forming a global network. With IoT not only we can access the information from anyplace, at any
time, by any person, but we can also control and monitor various devices from anyplace, at any time,
on any network, by any authenticated person, this technology is called Internet of Things (IoT).
Figure 1: Internet of Things
The concept of IoT aims in making Internet more ubiquitous and immersive. Thus
accelerating the internet to make it enable by any authorized person for easy access and to have an
interaction with enormous variety of devices for instance, home gadgets, spying cameras, monitoring
sensors, actuators, automobiles, displays, and so on, the IoT will nurture the development of a
number of applications that make use of the virtually enormous amount and variety of data generated
by Things to provide new benefits to citizens, industry, and government sectors.
And Industrial automation is the use of control systems, such as computers or robots, and
information technologies for handling different processes and machineries in an industry to replace a
human being. It is the second step beyond mechanization in the scope of industrialization.
Automation is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery,
processes in factories, boilers and heat treating ovens, switching in telephone networks, steering and
stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications with minimal or reduced human intervention
.
In this project we propose efficient industry automation system that allows user to efficiently
control industry appliances/ machines over the internet. We are also using Different
sensor(Temperature sensor, Humidity Sensor, camera, Gas Sensor) to monitor industry appliances
with the help of smartphones.
II METHODLOGY
1.OVERVIEW
The Raspberry Pi single board computer is used as the main device controller in the project. It is used
to establish communication with the remote IOT server using the IOT protocols over the WiFi
connection.
The power supply on the circuit board provides 5VDC to the Raspberry Pi controller and the
LCD.. The Raspberry Pi controller has built-in WiFi, USB, and A/V ports. The programming of the
Raspberry Pi controller is done is Python scripting language. The Raspberry Pi controller runs the
Raspbian OS which is a distribution of Linux OS.
There are four relays connected to the output pins of the Raspberry Pi controller. Four
different industrial devices are connected to these relays. And a four different sensors are also
connected to Raspberry pi. The Raspberry Pi board communicates with the remote server based IOT
platform by means of built-in WiFi. The control commands are provided by the user in the IOT
platform. These commands are then communicated to the Raspberry Pi controller over the WiFi
using IOT protocols. According to these commands, the Raspberry Pi controller turns the relays on
and off. An LCD is also connected to the Raspberry Pi controller which is used to display the device
statuses as well as other messages.

Camera, Rectifier, Regulator, Resistors, Capacitors, Transistors, Power Supply, Cables and
Connectors, Diodes, LED, Transformer/Adapter,Switch. IC, IC Sockets, Motor, Lamps.
Some of Hardware descriptions are given below:
i. Raspberry Pi:
i. Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit- card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or
TV and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all
ages to explore computing and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It is
capable of doing everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and
playing high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games.
Raspberry Pi 4 is the latest iteration of the Raspberry Pi product family and it offers the fastest
performance when compared with the previous generations.
ii. RELAY:
In layman terms, a relay is a switch. Technically speaking, a relay is an electromagnetic switch
where a small control signal (usually from a microcontroller) at the input of the Relay will control
a high voltage supply (usually AC mains).
Since this is a Raspberry Pi based project, let us talk with respect to Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry
Pi computer, although a powerful device, works on a
3.3V Logic.
If you want this powerful computer to control your electrical loads, like an LED strip running
along your garden or kitchen, you cannot interface them directly as the electrical loads work on
AC Mains supply and the Raspberry Pi works on 3.3V DC (technically).
iii. RELAY MODULE:
Even though the Relay Coil needs a small current in order to get energized, driving it directly from
Raspberry Pi (for that matter, any Microcontroller like 8051 or Arduino) is not a good idea.
A simple way is to drive the Relay Coil through a Transistor. The following image shows the
connections required with respect to a Relay
The circuit shown above will drive a relay with minimum number of components (a Transistor, a
current limiting resistor, a Relay and a Diode).
A Relay Module is a simple circuit board that consists of the relay itself and all the necessary
components that are required to drive a relay and also the required connectors to connect the load.
I have used a four channel relay module in this project. It is basically, four relays with all the circuitry
on a single board.

iv. Temperature Sensor
A temperature sensor is an electronic device that measures the temperature of its environment and
converts the input data into electronic data to record, monitor, or signal temperature changes.
The DS18B20 temperature sensor is perfect for projects like weather stations and automation systems.
these sensors are easy to set up on the Raspberry Pi. They're the same size as a transistor and use only
one wire for the data signal.
Figure 6: Temperature Sensor
v. Humidity Sensor
The DHT11 is a low-cost temperature and humidity sensor. It isn't the fastest sensor around but its cheap
price makes it useful for experimenting or projects where you don't require new readings multiple times
a second. The device only requires three connections to the Pi. +3.3v, ground and one GPIO pin.
Figure 7: Humidity Sensor
vi. Pi Camera Module
The Pi Camera Module is a portable light weight camera that supports Rashberry pi It communicates
with Pi using the MIPI camera serial interface protocol. It is normally used in image processing,
machine learning or in surveillance projects.
Vii. Wifi Module
Low-power, low-cost Wi-Fi modules have changed the landscape of wireless sensor networks.
Autonomous, Wi-Fi sensors connect to common, widely available wireless network infrastructure. They
send sensor data over standard TCP/IP making their information anywhere in the world from any
computer or smart phone.Previously, wireless sensors networks have been built on top of proprietary
protocols running on sub- gigahertz radios. These systems have the benefit of covering long distances
however they are closed systems. Likewise sensors networks based Zigbee radios are also closed
system. Both of these wireless sensor networks require additional gateway hardware devices to get
sensor data onto the internet or users LAN. Gateways introduce a single point of failure and additional
cost.
Viii Lcd Display
This display is a cool way to display some information from the Pi without needing any expensive or
complicated display setup.
A 16×2 display unlike a touchscreen or a regular LCD screen is best used to display short messages or
information.

III. APPLICATION
Sensors can be used in manufacturing and the workplace. over a vast area of devices and instruments
Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things are used to manage and track components.
Hospitals and laboratories: We can position sensors on the patient's body, and the doctor can check
the patient's current status on his Android phone, as well as take the required actions and decisions.
At Home: we can use sensors to track and control our heating and cooling systems.
VI. Future Scope
With reference to this system we add the various parameters and make the industry is fully automated.
We use weight sensor, PH sensor, color sensor, length and domination sensor. Using this sensor to
reduce the time, effort of employ and authorized person take quick decision and improve the production.
The overall this thing can be done by Internet Of Thing (IOT).
V. CONCLUSION
We concluded that by applying these platforms, we will be able to access real-time data and monitor
the devices that are linked to our system. This is one of the groundbreaking projects that uses a
smartphone to intelligently monitor our home or workplace. Nowadays, a smartphone is an inevitable
unit. As a result, the cost of additional hardware units will be greatly reduced, as well as the project
will be easier to handle.
