Abstract

The constant technological evolution allowed significant advances and improvements in the processes of industries, mainly in areas that demand greater control and environmental air efficiency. In this way, Embedded Systems allows the development of products and services that aim to solve or propose solutions in these industrial environments. This article presents the development of an Embedded System with a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Arduino for industrial air dehumidifier, which allows the monitoring of failures remotely from a reliable data communication in a mobile application for Android operating system (OS) on a wireless network IEEE 802.11. As a result, a prototype of the test bench for the Embedded System is presented in which the main parameters of temperature sensors and operating conditions of the dehumidifiers are checked.
