Abstract
As the next industrial revolution, Industry 4.0 is an intelligent production incorporated
with Internet of Things Remote (IoT), cloud technology and big data. This scenario requires
real time applications which are important to monitoring system effectively, instantly,
anywhere and anytime. A monitoring system application is designed and developed. The
proposed system acts as the monitoring system based on Android platform to give convenience
in accessing monitored parameters quickly on mobile devices anywhere at anytime. The
application is built by using MIT App Inventor II and is applicable in any android mobile device.
A graphical user interface (GUI) is developed as the monitoring system which exhibits the
information gathered from the system. Its main functions are to display information, store data,
alert system and allow information sharing among the users. Beside displaying the charts, the
application enables the user to have the conversation with each other to communicate and
discuss about any issues occured. The only condition required is the application supportability
given by the android system over 3G/4G network or Wi-Fi connection. Finally, a pilot test will
be tested on this application to understand its compatibility on old and new version of Android
API.
