Internet of Things concepts in realizing the vision of a smart laboratory

Tema diplomskog rada proizašla je iz mog završnog rada i želje da se ideja proširi, odnosno implementira u radnu okolinu. Prikazani su razvoj i integracija pametnih i automatiziranih sustava u laboratorij na Fakultetu strojarstva i brodogradnje u Zagrebu. Na ovaj način, koristeći različite senzore i uređaje, korisnicima je omogućena najviša prilagodljivost cijelog sustava. Ujedno je ostvarena najviša sigurnost jer laboratorij nije vezan niti ovisan o cloud servisu te ne mora biti povezan na internet da bi automatizacije i komande radile. Za realizaciju softverskog rješenja korištena je platforma otvorenog koda Home Assistant koja služi kao baza za kontroliranje i povezivanje uređaja i senzora. Prikazan je postupak integracije različitih uređaja i senzora te ostvarivanje automatizacije i razine samostalnosti laboratorija. Temelj diplomskog rada je koncept Interneta stvari i sveprisutnog računarstva.The topic of the master's thesis came from my undergraduate thesis and the desire to expand the idea, that is, to implement it in the working environment. The development and integration of smart and automated systems in the laboratory at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture in Zagreb are presented. In this way, using different sensors and devices, users are provided with the highest adaptability of the entire system. At the same time, the highest security has been achieved because the laboratory is not tied to or dependent on a cloud service and does not have to be connected to the Internet for automation and commands to work. The Open Source Home Assistant platform was used to implement the software solution, which serves as a base for controlling and connecting devices and sensors. The process of integrating various devices and sensors and achieving automation and the level of independence of the laboratory is presented. The basis of the thesis is the concept of the Internet of Things and ubiquitous computing
