Automated Factory Gate Control and Vehicle Counting System Using IOT

Abstract: The Automated Factory Gate Control and Vehicle Counting System using Internet of Things (IoT) is designed to enhance security, efficiency, and monitoring in industrial environments. The system automates the opening and closing of factory gates based on vehicle detection and simultaneously counts the number of vehicles entering and exiting the premises. It utilizes sensors such as IR sensors to detect vehicle movement and a NodeMCU (ESP8266) microcontroller to process the data. The collected information is transmitted to a cloud platform via Wi-Fi, enabling real-time monitoring and data access through a mobile application or web interface. This system reduces the need for manual supervision, minimizes human error, and improves operational efficiency. Additionally, it provides accurate vehicle count data, which can be used for analysis, security management, and traffic control within the factory premises. The proposed solution is cost-effective, scalable, and suitable for modern smart industrial applications.
