Course Description (Syllabus):

 

Welcome to the course "IoT Technology for the Monitoring and Control of Machines". 

 

IoT is a rapidly growing technology that is transforming industries such as manufacturing, construction, and facility maintenance. As more and more industries adopt IoT technology engineers will increasingly be tasked with creating IoT monitoring and controlling systems. 

 

This course is designed to provide an introductory understanding of the role of IoT in the monitoring and control of machines beginning with an introduction to IoT, its definition, and its importance and relevance to engineering.

 

The course will then move on to understanding IoT monitoring sensors and devices. We will cover the explanation of IoT sensors, their function, and significance. IoT sensors are the backbone of any IoT system, and they play a crucial role in collecting data from the physical world. In machines IoT sensors can be used to monitor various parameters such as temperature, pressure, vibration, and motion. We will also discuss the role and importance of IoT devices and provide examples of IoT devices used in machine monitoring and control.

 

The course will then delve into IoT, its benefits, limitations, and applications. We will cover machine monitoring and maintenance, quality control assurance, energy efficiency and optimization. We will also explore IoT in different industries and case studies. 

 

Learning Outcomes: By completing this course you will learn:

 

1. Overview of IoT technology and how it is being applied for machine monitoring and control

2. An understanding of IoT sensors, actuators and control devices 

3. The importance of Big Data and AI in IoT

4. Understanding of IoT Virtual Digital Twins

5. Applications of IoT in Machine Monitoring and Control: optimization, quality control, predictive maintenance

6. How to calibrate and install sensors

7. How to program IoT monitoring and control systems

8. Sources of sensors, devices and IoT platform software

9. Industry examples and case studies of IoT machine monitoring and control

10. Emerging trends and the future IoT technology for engineers
