Providing a cloud-based smart meter solution to control and monitor electrical quantities of industrial machines

The remote monitoring and control of machines are essential in industrial environments. Emerging communication technologies such as Web of Things and Machine to Machine Communication can meet this demand for automation in Industry 4.0. This paper aims to introduce a solution for continuous and remote monitoring of electrical quantities in smart industrial environments with three-phase systems. The proposed solution uses a service-oriented architecture and makes use of a Smart Gateway, RESTful web services, and cloud computing. The solution was integrated with a real case study and evaluated by software testing. The results obtained demonstrate the feasibility of the solution, and the accuracy of measurements persisted in the cloud.
