Abstract

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud-based cathodic protection (CP) systems is an innovative approach that can lead to improve pipeline protection from corrosion. Using a printed circuit board (PCB) to measure and control current and voltage makes it possible to monitor PC systems in real time. The web interface that is connected to the PCB circuit through IoT technology provides a platform for instant evaluation of the data obtained, thereby enabling early detection of potential problems. One of the key benefits of real-time monitoring is improved data management and security. The data obtained can be stored on a cloud server, making it easier to access and analyze. This eliminates the need for manual inspections, which can be time-consuming and error-prone. Additionally, real-time monitoring can reduce downtime, as problems can be detected and resolved quickly, preventing the need for lengthy manual inspections and maintenance. This innovative approach has tremendous potential for the future of pipeline protection and corrosion control. The developed PCB circuit features a mobile UART that provides program protection, and the interface can control multiple PCB cards and relays independently. The monitoring system can be updated without interrupting data acquisition. The use of open-source software, database hosting, and low-cost PCB development facilitates commercialization. This study could inspire new applications in asset management and monitoring.
