Heterogeneous Hardware and Software for Remote Monitoring and Control
Fernando Gustavo Tinetti, Roberto E. Zelarayan, Maria S. Pinto, Javier R. Antoni · 2016
We have developed an application where different technology platforms (hardware and software) are used taking into account specific functional requirements. We take advantage of current state of the art technologies, some of which being currently used in different applications areas. We present a specific real system and, also, the way in which we use a number of devices (sensors, actuators, IP camera) via standard interfaces and protocols. Simple, out-of-the-box devices are combined with some application specific (e. g. embedded) hardware and/or software in order to solve a monitoring and control application. Furthermore, the system is interoperable and extensible, being a proof of concept on how current technologies (with different goals and origins) can be successfully combined.
