In this paper we have developed real time process station monitoring with control using IIoT. Moreover the parameters in the process industries like Level, Flow and temperature can be monitored and controlled using cloud storage also presented. Cloud refers to accessing computer information and software applications internet connectivity. We have used ‘ThingSpeak’ IoT analytics platform to aggregate, visualize and analyze all our real time readings of a process control plants. Moreover it can be implemented with LabVIEW for more flexibility. In this system the parameters like flow, temperature, pressure, level can be monitored and controlled wirelessly through wireless devices. In case of any emergency, an alarm system is used to intimate the conditions to the end user. The wireless transmitter has been incorporated in the process station to send data periodically and the receiving section consists of a Wi-fi module in order to receive the transmitted data, they are then stored in a cloud platform through which the data can be accessed as well as control wirelessly by the remote devices such as PC, mobile phones, tablets, etc. Moreover, it can be integrated to automation tools like SCADA, PLC with bidirectional mode of control to ensure operational safety and efficiency with recent automation protocols.
