Cross-Platform Development Approach to Monitor Production Systems Using MQTT and BLE

Abstract

This article proposes a conceptual model of a cross-platform monitoring system that utilizes MQTT and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocols for collecting, transmitting, and displaying sensor data across various platforms (operational systems). First, the paper substantiates the need for a cross-platform approach in industrial and experimental monitoring. It then examines the key features of MQTT and BLE that make them suitable for telemetry applications and control of actuators (such as robots, machines, and industrial equipment). Subsequently, the article presents an integrated conceptual model that includes a semi-stationary hardware-software complex (HSC) and a cross-platform communication approach based on MQTT and BLE and provides a detailed breakdown of its components.
