Abstract:
Today, smart grid, smart homes, smart water networks, intelligent transportation, are infrastructure systems that connect our world
more than we ever thought possible. The common vision of such systems is usually associated with one single concept, the Internet of
Things (IoT), where through the use of sensors, the entire physical infrastructure is closely coupled with information and
communication technologies; where intelligent monitoring and management can be achieved via the usage of networked embedded
devices. These devices will connect to internet to share different types of data. We have proposed an Industrial Monitoring System
using XAMPP server and sensing based applications for internet of things. In this paper we use sensing devices to check different
parameters like production count, illumination intensity, power consumption, relative humidity and temperature of room.

4.3 Current Sensor (ACS712)

The Allegro ACS712 provides economical and precise solutions
for AC or DC current sensing in industrial, commercial, and
communications systems. The device consists of a precise, low-
offset, linear Hall sensor circuit with a copper conduction path
located near the surface of the die. Applied current flowing
through this copper conduction path generates a magnetic field
which is sensed by the integrated Hall IC and converted into a
proportional voltage. Device accuracy is optimized through the
close proximity of the magnetic signal to the Hall transducer.

This DHT11 Temperature & Humidity Sensor features a
temperature & humidity sensor complex with a calibrated digital
signal output. By using the exclusive digital-signal-acquisition
technique and temperature & humidity sensing technology, it
ensures high reliability and excellent long-term stability. This
sensor includes a resistive-type humidity measurement
component and an NTC temperature measurement component,
and connects to a high performance 8-bit microcontroller,
offering excellent quality, fast response, anti-interference ability
and cost-effectiveness.
