Abstract

CASTRO, Sergio A; MEDINA, Byron  and  CAMARGO, Luis L. Supervision and Industrial Control through Smartphone using a Single-board Computer Raspberry Pi. Inf. tecnol. [online]. 2016, vol.27, n.2, pp.121-130. ISSN 0718-0764.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-07642016000200015.

The paper presents the development and implementation of an application for smartphones, which monitors and controls a real-time industrial process through an embedded system based on Raspberry, connected to the Internet using the Secure Shell protocol. The system integrates the advantages of virtual instrumentation with mobility for optimizing production processes and competitiveness in enterprises. The app was done using the mobile app development methodology, which consists of five stages: analysis, design, development, performing testing and delivery. Furthermore, the app was used in a pilot plant to verify its adequate operation and performance in a real environment, to evaluate its usability. It is concluded that the app has potential success for being implemented on a large scale, being easy to handle, attractive and efficient.

Keywords : industrial control; automation; internet; Raspberry; single-board computer; software usability.
