Plug-n-Play Smart Sensor Based on Web Service

Abstract

In this paper, the authors present an implementation of a plug-n-play Web sensor based on Web service approach utilizing open source software and adopting low cost hardware architecture. After an introduction to the Web service technology, the problem of the dynamic services and one solution will be dealt. In this way, if it inserted a new sensor in a network, its services are automatically published without network reconfiguration. The sensor is presented in the framework of a hierarchical distributed system for metrological application of monitoring. Particular attention is devoted to synchronization problems among all devices that compose the proposed distributed system accounting characteristics of main synchronization standards. Measurement results are made available as Web services so that all users can build up their own applications. The particular metrological application chosen to show some preliminary results of distributed monitoring network is the monitoring of root mean square (RMS) values in three-phase power networks. A proper synchronization protocol was adopted in order to synchronize to different hardware sections of the sensor performing measurement.

Service-oriented computing in manufacturing automation: A SWOT analysis

“…As an example, industrial sensors are not simply suppliers of Internet pages to browsers but they become servers of measurement functions and so they can play a more complex role in the monitoring system or in the integration of different measurement networks. This solution offers great possibility in terms of fast and easy access to measured data, of integration of large complex web sensor networks, of realization of flexible custom applications, and of service reusability [12].…”

Implementation of Privacy Secured Smart Meter for Demand Side Management

“…This IoT improvement will help various societal challenges like connected cars will help reduces traffic, pollution and Connecting trees will helps to reduce deforestation etc. Like this connected devices will finally reduce the carbon footprint [13]. Implementing IoT enabled smart meter will takes the technology to the next level.…”

Energy Management in Smart Cities Based on Internet of Things: Peak Demand Reduction and Energy Savings

“…While different hardware, software, communication architectures have been proposed and compared by their power consumption, performance, etc. [ 20 , 21 , 22 ], the cost of implementing the infrastructure like: hardware devices, software framework, communication interfaces, etc. are still high enough that hinder the process of implementing the smart home technology for ordinary users.…”
