Remote and Continuous Monitoring of Electrical Quantities Using Web of Things and Cloud Computing

The remote monitoring and control of machines are essential in industrial environments. Emerging communication technologies such as Web of Things and Machine to Machine Communication can meet this demand for automation. This paper aims to introduce a solution, called Smart Meter, for continuous and remote monitoring of electrical quantities, in smart industrial environments with three-phase systems. The proposed solution uses a resource-oriented architecture and makes use of a Smart Gateway for communication, RESTful web services and cloud computing. The solution was integrated with a real case study and evaluated by software testing. The results obtained demonstrate the feasibility of the solution, and the correctness of measurements persisted in the cloud.
