A Novel Approach to Noise Reduction in IIoT Environment Using MCU

Everything in our modern life is connected through some kind of connectivity, and the term “internet” of everything is becoming widely applicable to almost every aspect of the modern lifestyle. Industries are very capable, and even in need, to get this connectivity all over their elements. This was the main push to launch the industry 4.0 that adapts the Internet of things (IoT) in industrial facilities. The industrial IoT (denoted by IIoT) was a big breakthrough in modern industrial facilities that accelerated the production process and reduced accidents and the probability of human errors. Yet, there are some challenges that industrial facilities face in adopting IoT, one of which is the noise originating from the heavy motors and machines working around the factory. This research introduces an easy to plug-and-play solution to the noise that affects data transmission between IIoT nodes, by programming a frequency-choosing and -hopping algorithm on a programmable chip that can be embedded within a microcontroller unit in IIoT nodes.
