Implementation of Automated Aroma Therapy Candle Process Planting Using IoT and WSN

Aromatherapy candles with essential oils which can provides a therapeutic treatments have been made to maintain and improve our wellbeing. In this paper, a mini prototype of automated aromatherapy candle process plant using IoT and WSN has been proposed and developed. The main process of producing aromatherapy candle are heating and mixing. To produce the right quality of the aromatherapy candle, the quantity of the raw material is important. Heating process will be control by using ESP8266 based PID controller and monitored by using Open Source Programmable Logic Controller called OpenPLC that run on Raspberry Pi. The software is efficient because can support users over the entire plant and process. Mixing process will mix the raw material evenly using agitator motor with specific temperature. The whole process in this work can be monitored and control through PC via this implementation of software. To obtain the best quality of this work, the set point of temperature need to be control and the plant able to be achieved after second test of the study. As the result, this study able to produces aromatherapy candle with better quality in minimal time. This study also able to control the candle from releasing too many Volatile Organic Compound that can effect human life. Armed with the wealth of relevant information presented in this article, it is hoped that readers will have greatly benefited and gained a thorough understanding on how to develop an automated aroma therapy candle process planting using IoT and WSN. With further research put forth into this study, it is also hope it could be an advantage in innovation development and can be implemented in real life manufacturing industry.
