What is the main goal for this project?

Design and set up a simple IoT-based monitoring system to collect and analyze data from a manufacturing process, such as temperature or equipment status.

Understanding IoT in Manufacturing:

• Outcomes: Learn about the Internet of Things (IoT) and its applications in manufacturing, such as sensor-based data collection.
• Deliverables:
• Overview document on IoT concepts and its relevance to manufacturing.
• List of common IoT devices used in industry (sensors, connectivity modules).

Selecting and Setting Up IoT Sensors:

• Outcomes: Select basic IoT sensors (e.g., temperature or vibration sensors) and set them up to monitor a simple process.
• Deliverables:
• A guide on how to choose and set up IoT sensors for monitoring.
• Documentation of the sensors selected and their setup process.

Data Collection and Monitoring:

• Outcomes: Collect data from the sensors and set up a simple monitoring system to visualize the data.
• Deliverables:
• Data logging system that records readings from IoT sensors (e.g., temperature over time).
• Basic dashboard or visual representation of the collected data.

Data Analysis and Interpretation:

• Outcomes: Analyze the collected data to identify patterns or anomalies in the manufacturing process.
• Deliverables:
• Report analyzing the data (e.g., identifying temperature fluctuations or equipment malfunctions).
• Basic recommendations based on data analysis (e.g., improving equipment maintenance schedules).

Final Report and Presentation:

• Outcomes: Provide a clear explanation of the IoT system, its data, and any findings from the analysis.
• Deliverables:
• PowerPoint presentation summarizing the setup, data collection, and analysis.
• Final report detailing the IoT system, the data collected, and how it can benefit a manufacturing process.
