Temperature control system with hysteresis for drying oven using IoT

Abstract

The fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) spread to the whole world, improving all kinds of industrial processes. Thus, temperature control and monitoring of ovens through the Internet of Things (IoT) is part of this technology, especially in the automotive industry. In this work, the temperature control with hysteresis of a drying oven is carried out incorporating the IoT, with the objective of maintaining the temperature within a certain range in the drying process inside an oven. For this, a thermocouple, heat lamps, couplers and an electronic board are used. The temperature data from the drying oven is sent to the internet via WiFi using a router. The oven temperature data is recorded in the cloud for its respective subsequent analysis using the ThingSpeak services. For the results, the temperature is configured in the range of 50 ° C to 70 ° C that is monitored through a mobile application developed in App Inventor. The tests carried out demonstrate the proper functioning of the system and the high usability of the application.
