Labeling 4.0: An Automated System with IoT Connectivity for Remote Industrial Monitoring Applied to Mechatronics Engineering Education
摘要
This work presents the development and implementation of an automated labeling system with IoT connectivity, aimed at both industrial and educational environments. The architecture integrates open technologies such as ESP32-CAM, MQTT protocol, AWS IoT Core platform, and Node-RED to enable remote monitoring, product traceability, and real-time supervision. The system was evaluated under simulated continuous operation conditions, achieving 98% accuracy in QR label validation, an average latency of 100 milliseconds, and a 40% reduction in processing time compared to manual methods. Furthermore, an 85% decrease in human errors was achieved, reinforcing its practical applicability. The modular and low-cost design allows for scalability in production lines and use as a pedagogical tool in engineering training. The obtained results confirm the system’s technical and functional feasibility, positioning it as an accessible, replicable, and Industry 4.0-aligned solution.
