Development of a Cloud Based Remote Mobile Monitoring and Control System for Manufacturing

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to develop a remote mobile monitoring and control system for manufacturing factory by using the cloud computing technology and information and communication (ICT) technology. In conjunction with the cloud and ICT technologies and mobile devices, modern manufacturing systems can be integrated to promote competitive strength to transmit the information and control commands toward the remote monitoring systems instantly via mobile devices. In such a way, this remote system could enhance the efficiency of information flow and the competitive strength and add unknown value to industries. This study adopts the cloud and ICT technologies as the main communication media to develop a remote monitoring and control system with smart mobile devices. The results of this study show the successful integration of the intelligent mobile devices and cloud networks for manufacturing system.
