Abstract

The objective of this work improve a Low Cost furnace used in a laboratory in order to solve the limitations of high price and purchased furnace, unable remote monitor and control. The furnace use in prepare many materials and catalysts by several calcination steps and long operating time requirement (15-20 hours at least). Its step order and temperature were displayed only on a furnace screen that was inconvenient for a user waited for a long time until all steps finished. Therefore, remote wireless network in cloud service was applied to the furnace for monitoring its status and temperature through a computer, tapeless, or smart phone via internet network. In practical, real-time data monitoring displayed efficiently on the personal devices. The operating system could be controlled and the temperature was able to reset via remote wireless network in cloud service by commanding from the devices.
