Description

Smart IoT Multi-Monitoring Control System The present invention relates to a smart IoT multi-monitoring control system, and more specifically, to a smart IoT multi-monitoring control system configured to enable data compatibility even when equipment terminals from different manufacturers are mixed, facilitates the input of information from a Wi-Fi router, and enables the user to easily monitor the status of the equipment terminals. Generally, terminals or measuring equipment are configured to enable only simple control or display; however, with the recent advancement of smartphones, personal mobile devices, and IoT (Internet of Things) technology, there is an increasing provision of devices and equipment capable of continuous monitoring from the outside. However, when terminals or measuring equipment are manufactured using communication interfaces selected by each manufacturer and the same manufacturer cannot provide terminals or measuring equipment for the desired purpose, equipment and monitoring systems from different manufacturers must be used. Since there is no compatibility between manufacturers, different monitoring programs must be used for each, resulting in fragmentation of the monitoring system. Furthermore, because different equipment and monitoring programs are used, integrated management of the entire system is not possible, leading to inefficiency in human and material resources and difficulties in maintenance. In addition, when configuring a system by linking multiple pieces of equipment, the volume of information that must be processed simultaneously increases rapidly, which may lead to the missing of abnormal or emergency conditions; consequently, fixed costs increase, such as the need for additional personnel required for monitoring. Various technologies for monitoring using IoT (Internet of Things) are disclosed in Korean Registered Patent Publications No. 10-2353186 and No. 10-2389449, and Published Patent Publications No. 10-2023-0144345 and No. 10-2023-0149901. Conventional monitoring technology using IoT (Internet of Things) is insufficient to adequately resolve the problems that arise when equipment from different manufacturers is mixed.
