Low cost platform to implement IoT prototypes

Abstract

This paper shows the results obtained through the development of a low-cost platform “IoT Maker Lab” which is a technology integrated with the necessary elements to generate prototypes of Internet of Things (IoT), so that experimentation can be taken to different learning spaces in a rapid and efficient way.This platform has such versatility that it can be used in different curriculum courses, which the knowledge of digital technology is developed. From experimental results, it is demonstrated that “IoT Maker Lab” can be used in different courses from the beginning to the end of an undergraduate program. The platform has the advantage of being easily incorporated into simple systems and complex ones as well.On the other side, because IoT is a fundamental milestone of the Industry 4.0 ecosystem, the platform contributes to the development of competencies that the industry demands from the current and future engineers.
