Abstract: The development of a cleanroom monitoring system needs more concentrated consideration consistently. There is
a challenge to prove that the cleanroom operates following the specifications, in other words, users do not see the software
error, they see failures in execution. This paper aims to design a smart monitoring system to monitor important parameters
inside the cleanroom, i.e. temperature, humidity, and pressure to produce a good quality of work or experiment inside the
cleanroom. The observing framework utilizes Arduino Mega as a microcontroller, ESP 8266 Wi-Fi module, DHT 11 as an
integrated temperature and humidity sensor, HX710B as a pressure sensor, and Blynk application as a monitoring system to
record and show information including provide fault notification. The project is tested on a modeled cleanroom to monitor
important parameters via smartphone anytime and anywhere. From the experimental results, the Cleanroom IoT Monitoring
System successfully read all parameters based on the system requirements and displays data of parameters in real-time and
stored historical data. This system is also successful to provide failures notification of humidity, temperature, and pressure in
real-time if any of the parameters are out of range from the system requirements. Lastly, users can monitor the condition of
the cleanroom anytime and anywhere including receiving real-time failures notifications. This concept can avoid or reduce
cleanroom working out of the criteria that can cause testing or experiment inside the cleanroom to be inaccurate. By observing
and controlling the prerequisite development for IoT monitoring systems, great nature and better quality of performance of
operational cleanrooms can be delivered..

temperature, humidity, pressure, and airflow inside the
cleanroom are monitored in real-time or near real-time.
Data from sensors transmit via an open platform
communication (OPC) server in an existing building
management system (BMS). HVAC system automatically
controlled based on the comparison of the sensors by using
model predictive control (MPC).
Research in [5] proposed an IoT-based smart agriculture
monitoring system. Their works focused on devices and
tools to manage and monitor temperature, humidity, soil
moisture, atmospheric moisture, and intruders by using a
wireless sensor network (WSN) system. The monitoring
system is performed by two methods which are via
hardware by using the LCD and android application. Any
parameters exceed the threshold value, an alert system will
send a message to the user via GSM. Figure 1. Block Diagram of Proposed Solution
Authors in [6] introduced a monitoring system and
monitoring method for a cleanroom regulating system.
Parameters that are monitored inside the cleanroom for this
project are particle, temperature, humidity, pressure, and
airflow rate. A local area network (LAN) is used as a
communication channel to transmit data from the sensors
to the host computer. Information of parameters is shown
in real-time and as historical data. This project also used a
host computer for comparing the physical properties of
parameters and generating an alarm signal if any failures
occur.
According to the existing solutions, the research gap that
can be concluded is users have limited access to the
monitoring system to monitor parameters inside the
cleanroom at any time and anywhere. While monitoring
systems that use LAN connections require a high cost to
build it. Few monitoring systems used an LCD including a
web page by using a host computer to show data of
parameters that are only achieved on-site.
Some projects only show information of parameters in
real-time but lack historical data. Without historical data,
it is difficult for the user to investigate in the event of any
failures occur while carrying out work. Fault notification
showing what kind of parameters and value of parameters
is also important for the user to be noticed because they
can take earlier action if the failure occurs in the
cleanroom. But, most monitoring systems only provide
fault alarms without indicates the type of parameters
including the value of the parameters.

4.1 Calibration
Calibration defines the accuracy, and quality of
measurements recorded using a calibrated equipment. Over
time there is a tendency for results and accuracy to ‘drift’
particularly when using technologies or measuring
parameters such as an application on this project. The
objectives of this calibration are to measure the accuracy of
the instrument and determines the traceability of the
measurement [36]. Calibration also minimizes any
measurement uncertainty by ensuring the accuracy of the
unit under test (UUT).
Sensors that used in the development of this project
were calibrated before applying them to the actual
condition. In practice, calibration also includes adjustment Figure 10. Calibration HX710B Sensor. Air Data
