ESP32 is the most unified Wi-Fi module in the industry, it consists of inbuilt microcontroller and antenna with less expense. Industrial process
Monitoring system consists of 5 applications, these are Machine Control, Harmful gases level monitoring, Humidity measuring, Fire and Gas alert detection can be controlled from remote place.
Trends driving IoT:
1. Moore’s law
2. Connectivity
3. Sensors and Actuators
1. Moore’s law: Exponential increasing power consumption because of number of transistors in a chip doubled and tripled for every 18-24 months due to evolution in VLSI technology.
The Moore’s theory predicts that processors and electronic devices used in the IoT applications will become power full, cheaper and smaller.

2. RELATED WORK
Different control technologies are used for monitoring and control of the systems, whereas the
communication between a system and a user is generally realized online via wireless communication techniques such as RF, ZigBee and Bluetooth. Also, SCADA programs are utilized for developing user interfaces. However, SCADA programs do not provide adaptability for users because of their expensive libraries. RF, ZigBee and Bluetooth technologies are widely preferred in easy-to-use applications due to the short range between the sender and the receiver, and the small volumes of data transferred. The ZigBee, RF and Bluetooth wireless communication techniques are generally restricted to simple applications because of their slow communication speeds, distances and data security. Nowadays, timer controlled systems have been easily replaced with remote controlled systems after the internet became widespread. In these systems, it is known as an important issue to get information about not only the control, but also the conditions of the machines or devices through internet. In accordance with this need, there are some works about implementation of condition monitoring of system through internet and development of internet-based remote controlling or monitoring practices.
