Real-Time Iot HMI Platform for Hoist Control System
Project Scope
- The ESP32-based Web HMI for Hoist Control system provides a real-time, web-accessible interface for monitoring and controlling hoist operations
- Integrates multiple software layers from hardware drivers to cloud-accessible APIs ensuring a responsive, secure & user-friendly experience
Business Challenges
- Coordinating between hardware drivers, FreeRTOS tasks, and web-based UI for seamless real-time response
- Maintaining reliable Wi-Fi communication in industrial environments with potential interference
- Protecting REST API endpoints from unauthorized access or remote attacks
- Managing firmware updates, system diagnostics, and future scalability without interrupting operations
ARi’s Solutions
- Implement a modular layered architecture separating application logic, FreeRTOS services, and hardware drivers for maintainability and scalability
- Secure all HTTP API communications using TLS encryption and role-based user authentication to ensure system integrity
- Use SPIFFS/NVS for reliable local data storage and logging, ensuring persistence and recovery during network or power interruptions
- Design a scalable React-based Web HMI with future cloud or MQTT integration for centralized monitoring and predictive analytics
ARi’s Value Proposition
- Converts traditional hoist controls into a smart, connected system accessible via web browsers
- Enables off-site access for diagnostics, reducing downtime and on-site dependency
- Real-time feedback through LEDs and dashboards optimizes equipment usage and response time
- Event logs stored in SPIFFS enable proactive fault detection and performance analysis
- Based on modular FreeRTOS components and secure HTTP/MQTT communication, adaptable to industrial IoT ecosystems
