Abstract

This paper presents a deployment of an IoT architecture in aircraft wings based on a physical asset, three IoT platforms, MATLAB® on a personal computer and ThingSpeak as a cloud. The IoT architecture was designed considering five layers and implemented using a simple wireless sensor network. Temperature, humidity, air quality and air pressure were collected, pre-processed and visualised in real-time to improve the reliability of aircraft components. The results show that embedding sensory capability into wing components can create a smart ecosystem that will support different IoT-enabled services in-flight, and it can also be used for predictive maintenance purposes.
