Remote level control and monitoring in a laboratory tank system using Internet of Things

Abstract

The Aim of this project is to design and implement an Internet of Things (IoT) level control and monitoring system for a laboratory tank that employs sensors, microcontrollers, and cloud connectivity to track liquid levels in real time. The IoT system employs the smart ESP32 board which takes full control, monitoring and supervision of the level in the tank during system operation. Basically, level measurements are gathered from an ultrasonic sensor and send out to the Blynk IoT platform, which allows supervising remotely and in real time the level readings and get alerts sent straight to users’ smartphones. The system is intended to be inexpensive, scalable, and flexible enough to accommodate many usage cases, especially in areas like oil and gas industry where automation and resource efficiency are crucial for production system reliability and safety.
