“…Although the mobile SCADA application was designed for the water sector, the solution is applicable for other industries. OPC UA is an Industry 4.0 key enabler, not only for water [29] but also for other industries [30], and therefore the applicability of the solution is extensive. Furthermore, the need for mobile monitoring in other industries is increasing in many stages of the process lifecycle; from equipment, production line and control solution testing before and during complete local system deployment, towards the operation and maintenance phases.…”

The capacity for using mobile devices for monitoring and controlling local processes has seen rapid growth in industry for maintenance operations before and after deployment. This is especially important in the case of geographically widely-dispersed locations, such as in the case of the water sector, where processes, technologies, and local automation solutions are widely spread. Usually, the available mobile solutions are dependent on Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software installed in the control rooms of water and wastewater facilities, usually without configuration possibilities. Considering the various SCADA control rooms, each focusing on a specific system, and hundreds of smaller locations accessible only with PLC and eventually a small touch screen, the dependence on local SCADA software is proving increasingly impractical. This paper presents the implementation of an easy-to-use SCADA system for the Android operating system, conceived following Industry 4.0 concepts. An OPC UA client-based architecture is proposed to cope with current interoperability standards, mobility and security across industrial processes in various domains. The design relies on a foreground service for uninterrupted communication between the application and the OPC UA client. The system is envisaged to provide notifications to alert the user when alarms are triggered, including both an independent application level alarming module and a new Alarms and Conditions based protocol level module, increasing visibility and response time for technical issues or faults, and being adaptable to both legacy and modern OPC UA specifications. The solution was tested first in the laboratory to validate the communication system with as many OPC UA structures as possible, and then in real scenarios with drinking water and wastewater systems interfacing PLC, HMI and SCADA level OPC UA servers. The tests in the real scenarios included a second-level test for water operators and engineers which accessed and monitored various processes with the developed solution, and all results proved to be satisfactory.

“…According to this analysis, features that are not present in the portable IoT system are included in the future work section of this manuscript. The system designed and implemented by F. Žemla et al [19] successfully demonstrated the implementation of a digital twin with the utilization of Node-RED as a middleware and MQTT and OPC-UA server integration. This paper proposes a potential new market trend followed by Industry 5.0, which consists of all characteristics highlighted by Folgado et al and includes augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) as requirements for a "Human-Centric Solution".…”

This paper discusses the design and implementation of a portable IoT station. Communication and data synchronization issues in several installations are addressed here, making possible a detailed analysis of the entire system during its operation. The system operator requires a synchronized data stream, combining multiple communication protocols into one single time stamp. The hardware selected for the portable IoT station complies with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) industrial standards. A short discussion regarding interface customization shows how easily the hardware can be modified so that it is integrated with almost any system. A programmable logic controller enables the Node-RED to be utilized. This open-source middleware defines operations for each global variable nominated in the Modbus register. Two applications are presented and discussed in this paper; each application has a distinct methodology utilized to publish and visualize the acquired data. The portable IoT station is highly customizable, consisting of a modular structure and providing the best platform for future research and development of dedicated algorithms. This paper also demonstrates how the portable IoT station can be implemented in systems where time-based data synchronization is essential while introducing a seamless implementation and operation.
