COIT20260 - Cloud Computing: IBM Bluemix Application Report

This report details the development of a cloud-based smart application for remote monitoring and control of a conveyor belt system using IBM Bluemix. The project utilizes IBM Node-RED for application development, enabling the identification of start/stop actions and speed changes, and sending email alerts based on set speed limits. The Watson IoT Platform dashboard is then employed to visualize sensor data, including the creation of line graphs for speed changes. The report provides a step-by-step procedure for configuring and deploying the application, including accessing the Node-RED and Watson IoT platform dashboards. It also highlights the challenges encountered during the process, such as configuring the application and integrating processes. The application aims to simulate a business scenario by capturing operational data and sharing it via a visualization tool, offering insights into the design of smart applications within a cloud environment.
