Remote engineering (also known as online engineering) may be defined as a combination of control engineering and telematics. In this area, specific activities require computacional skills in order to develop projects where electrical devives are monitored and / or controlled, in an intercative way, through a distributed network (e.g. Intranet or Internet). In our specific case, we will be dealing with an industrial plant. Within the last few years, there has been an increase in the number of activities related to remote engineering, which may be connected to the phenomenon of the large extension experienced by the Internet (e.g. bandwith, number of users, development tools, etc.). This increase opens new and future possibilities to the implementation of advance teleworking (or e-working) positions. In this paper we present the architecture for a remote application, accessible through the Internet, able to monitor and control a roller hearth kiln, used in a ceramics industry for firing materials. The proposed architecture is based on a micro web server, whose main function is to monitor and control the firing process, by reading the data from a series of temperature sensors and by controlling a series of electronic valves and servo motors. This solution is also intended to be a low-cost alternative to other potential solutions. The temperature readings are obtained through K-type thermopairs and the gas flow is controlled through electrovalves. As the firing process should not be stopped before its complete end, the system is equipped with a safety device for that specific purpose. For better understanding the system to be automated and its operation we decided to develop a scale model (100:1) and experiment on it the devised solution, based on a Micro Web Server.

Web Server based monitoring has been an issue for industries as they make use of PC-based servers which consume large power and occupy large area. This limitation can be overcome by replacing the existing PC-based server by an Embedded Web Server using Raspberry Pi. The prime objective of this paper is to design a remote data acquisition system which is controlled by Linux portable ARM processor and web server application with General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) technology. This system focuses not only on device monitoring but also controlling it. The monitoring and data collection is accompanied by a Short Message Service (SMS), an email alert which is initiated in order to avoid the occurrence of a critical event. The system is capable enough to withstand power failure and capable of restarting from the point of failure.
Instead of PC based servers; ARM processor based servers are becoming trend of today’s market. Cost reduction is achieved using ARM processor along with Ethernet module as Embedded Web Server. Idea is utilized for monitoring and controlling maximum no. of either home appliances or industry devices. Without using a computer, Ethernet module can communicate to the owner of the overall system, who is able to manage appliances from any location outside. This server provides a powerful networking solution and enables web access for automation and monitoring of different systems. For industry automation, instrumentation and household devices control, this is an optimized solution. System home page can be accessed using web browser. Operational status of the appliances can be observed and changed in case of necessity. This paper proposes development of low cost system for above purpose. Different sensors installed at working place help in sensing real time environmental conditions like temperature, light, humidity etc.
In this paper a new Web-based multi-tier model for Distributed Automation Systems is proposed. The presented model is constructed for scalability, flexibility and platform independence. Based on the model, integration of automation and business information systems is attained. The model consists of four tiers: Client tier, Presentation tier, Services tier and Data tier. To achieve reliability and security a functional separation of the services' roles is suggested.

The main aim of the project, presented in this paper, is to create a system that will give a solution to the variety of situations we can encounter in industrial plants control; to achieve this goal we have given the system different automation, remote control and remote monitoring functionalities. Industrial installations can be composed of several plants; for this reason we offer a solution capable of defining a central office that is in control of all plants, each plant with its own controller. Apart from the problem of geographically disperse locations, it is also of the essence to offer automation for the tasks that take place in the plants. In order to achieve an automation system capable of giving answer to a range of situations, as wide as possible, we have designed an engine so that the user may create its own rule based system, defining himself the rules by means of an interface that abstracts the user from the formal definition of the rules.
Computer-based supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems have evolved over the past four decades, from standalone, compartmentalized operations into networked architectures that communicate across large distances. There is an emerging trend comprising SCADA and conventional IT units toward consolidating some overlapping activities. This trend is motivated by cost savings achieved by consolidating disparate platforms, networks, software, and maintenance tools. For reasons of efficiency, maintenance, economics, data acquisition, control platforms have migrated from isolated in-plant networks using proprietary hardware and software to PC-based systems using standard software, network protocols, and the Internet. In this paper, we present a new approach for web based SCADA systems that adapt to the behavior of the target application. In addition, we take into account the real time constraints that imposed by the nature of the problem. We show that our approach is more efficient than other approaches in terms of consuming as little as possible of the available resources (computational power and network bandwidth).
This paper presents the manipulation of real devices used in an instrumentation and control laboratory on the Internet. Control variables could be temperature, level, flow or pressure. A programmable logic controller (PLC) communicates directly with the sensors to receive signals and to activate the actuators. Communication between the PLC and the computer is assured by LabVIEW, a National Instruments graphical software. As well, the user interface is designed using a LabVIEW environment. A client-server application is set up for accessing through the Internet network in order to control process variables. The server contains the application that communicates with the actual physical system. On the client side, another application communicates with the server via a TCP/IP protocol. In this application, the server IP address must first be specified. Then the client sends control signals to the actuators via the server, which are then broadcast on the Internet using a tool such as Internet Toolkit, a National Instruments software package. Throughout the process, both the user interface and animated objects can be viewed by authorized users on the Web. Access to the laboratory can be done either individually or within a team effort. This paper will also describe the design process for our control laboratory system, which first controls a physical device (an elevator), then at a more advanced level, an industrial process (a hydraulic bench).
In general, monitoring is an essential process to observe and improve the reliability and performance of a system. The same hypothesis is also true for a specific distributed system introduced in this study in the form of monitoring and control.

The future of global development is mandatorily directed towards complete use of heavy machineries located at different location which run unmanned, automated, using artificial intelligence, and ability to diagnose errors and self-repair. This paper deals with the concept of building a custom WEB application for controlling and monitoring these machineries by providing flexibility in operation from any remote location , ensuring platform independence and low cost due to use of Open Source Architecture. Although this technology is not yet mature enough for a complete exclusion of manual control and maintenance. The Internet that we know today has become so advanced that every information is available at your fingertips. Maintenance of machine components also called as condition monitoring is currently done integrating the electronic computational power and compatible measurement hardware. Software like LabVIEW and MATLAB bridge the gap between computer and the measuring hardware. Wit...

Recently there are many existing applications in our daily life through the use of the internet. These applications had contributed to human in many aspects of life especially to those who rely mostly onto internet in completing their daily tasks. Knowing this, an application using web-based to control the electrical appliances such as lamps and fans in the FKEE Computer Technology Laboratory were proposed. By providing a function to switch on/off lamps and fans using the web without the exact existence of the user in the laboratory as it also has been designed to be more user-friendly help management to save the power consumption usage in laboratory. Apart from that, this project also has the capability to monitor the condition of the laboratory by using IP Based Camera that is connected to the internet and functions as the CCTV for the web users. Moreover, as the safety precaution, this application has been designed to have a restriction to only authorized user whom can login, in order for the user to have full control over the system. This can avoid from any unwanted circumstances and also increase the maximum level of handling the system properly for the user and university.
