Design and Fabrication of IoT enabled Temperature Sensor Calibration Experimental Setup for Metrology Lab

Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the topics that are widely spoken about all over the world. It is also one of the concepts whose application can be found everywhere. This paper focuses on how a Metrology Laboratory experiment can be integrated with the concepts of IoT, and hence modernized and optimized. The objective of this paper is to Design and Fabricate an IoT enabled experimental setup for a Metrology and Measurement laboratory, in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management. The experiment is basically conducted to calibrate a temperature measuring device with respect to a standard. Then its error percentage and optimality is analyzed by conducting a Gauge R and R study (gauge Re-peatability and Reproducibility). The temperature sensor is mounted on an Arduino board along with a GSM (global sys-tem for mobiles) module and a Relay switch. The Arduino board is programmed so as to achieve a two way communication with the experiment via GSM module. The main reason for implementing IoT is to reduce the human interaction percentage while conducting the experiment so as to reduce the possible human errors.
