Introduction
As computers and network connectivity has become cheaper, more and more devices have been connected to the internet for a wide variety of purposes. These devices which are not used by a human in the way a traditional computer is are known as the "Internet of Things" (IoT.)
This project is sponsored by Soniclean Pty Ltd. "Soniclean® is amongst the world's foremost manufacturers of innovative medical grade ultrasonic cleaners, with over two decades of leadership experience in the ultrasonic industry. Soniclean® ultrasonic cleaners provide a faster, safer alternative to conventional cleaning methods and, using Soniclean's unique Pulse Swept Power® technology, give a superior cleaning performance."[1]
This project seeks to add IoT capability to Soniclean’s ultrasonic cleaning machines to enable new monitoring and auditing functionality. While there are IoT solutions commercially available on the market, Soniclean has determined that they need at least a partially custom solution as they have a unique set of requirements.
Abstract
To meet requirements outlined by Soniclean, we develop a prototype device on top of the existing and widely available Raspberry Pi hardware platform and the MQTT IoT data transmission protocol that will collect data from sensors embedded within Soniclean’s ultrasonic cleaners all over the world and send that data to a central server operated by Soniclean. This will enable Soniclean to offer new auditing and monitoring services for their products and thus grow their business.
We do not implement sensor or back end server systems, that being the responsibility of Soniclean. We only develop a means to collect sensor data and transmit that data back to Soniclean.
