This workshop provides a comprehensive introduction to Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices for construction automation. The course focuses on practical applications, demonstrating how to integrate industrial assets into network-based communication protocols. The aim is to facilitate easier integration of devices into automation processes. Through Node-RED dashboard, an intricate data visualization and device control interface is to be designed. In addition, the concept of “virtual services” is introduced, which are provided in Docker containers and have the same command structures as physical IoT devices, so that orchestration can be seamlessly integrated by a central control unit.
This immersive workshop equips participants to leverage the MQTT protocol for rapid prototyping of user interfaces designed for seamless interaction with Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Through hands-on exercises, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of MQTT’s publisher-subscriber communication and JSON data structures, enabling them to control and visualize real-time sensor data from IoT devices, such as a robot, magnetic grippers, a welder, and a thermal camera using various web-based dashboard tools.
