Taking in consideration the new trends in Open Source Systems, we present a solution based Java technology used to help students to take measurements in the lab. Also it can be integrated as an educational remote laboratory. The remote laboratory consist in a web server, where students can access to educational materials and also collect data from different stands having the possibility to also control them, under a supervised and controlled environment. The stands are made with industrial devices: programmable logic controller (PLC), human machine interface (HMI) and various industrial sensors. This system can be very useful in the new information society to create a modern virtual laboratory for a remote teaching.
