SMART INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT MONITORING SYSTEM USING LORA-BASED LONG RANGE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

The Smart Industrial Equipment Monitoring System using LoRa communication has been successfully designed and implemented. The system effectively monitors important machine parameters such as temperature, vibration, and current, and detects fault conditions in real time. The use of LoRa communication enables long-range wireless data transmission with low power consumption, making the system suitable for large industrial environments. The integration of ESP8266 with IoT cloud platforms allows remote monitoring and data visualization, enhancing system usability. The system demonstrates the ability to detect overload, vibration faults, and power failure conditions accurately. The use of LED strips as load provides a practical way to simulate industrial conditions and validate system performance. Overall, the proposed system offers a cost-effective, scalable, and efficient solution for industrial monitoring. It improves reliability, reduces downtime, and supports predictive maintenance, making it highly relevant for modern industrial applications.
