Unfortunately, it is difficult to improve a process with inadequate data. Many of the SMEs in developing countries are still using manufacturing machines from the yesteryears which do not have computational and connectivity capabilities. Therefore, we developed an end-to-end Internet-of-Things (IoT) solution, which reliably tracks the production performance of manufacturing machines. This paper elaborates on the designs and the rationale behind it. As of the writing of this paper, our IoT system has been deployed in real manufacturing environment and has been running for approximately 90 days on a 24/7 basis without data lost. © 2021 IEEE. date: 2021 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85124523447&doi=10.1109%2FIEACon51066.2021.9654672&partnerID=40&md5=62e06d29756f2e43c9b7ee6e3a1632fd id_number: 10.1109/IEACon51066.2021.9654672 full_text_status: none pagerange: 270 - 275 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781728192536 citation: Ooi, Boonyaik Yaik and Lee, Wai Kong and Schubert, Martin J.W. and Ooi, Yuwei and Chin, Cheeyang and Woo, Wing Hon (2021) A Flexible and Reliable Internet-of-Things Solution for Real-Time Production Tracking.
