Abstract: The work is devoted to the research and development of production control systems using the technology of the Internet of Things. The work uses technologies that are often paired with IoT, like, cloud and edge computing. Today, there are about forty billion devices in the world connected to the Internet, that is, the Internet of Things devisces. According to estimates from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, by 2025, the number of such devices will almost double and their number will exceed seventy billion. Therefore, this technolohy is constantly gaining new perspectives and does not stop in development. Also, with the growing demand for technology, large, medium and small businesses find an increasing need for such systems in their industries. This is not only an opportunity to automate the processes, but also a cost-effective solution. Now, it is especially important to use such solutions to limit human interference in production processes. This is relevant, due to the epidemiological situation in the world. Very important aspect of successful production processes in compliance with all standards in terms of legislation. It is especially important to comply with such standards in the production of beverages that are made by fermentation, it is very important for them to adhere to sterility. That is why automated processes that limit human intervention and consequently limit the entry into the fermentation process of other substances, are a convenient and cost-effective solution. Similar automation systems already exist in the world, but in general, such systems are quite large and not flexible. They are developed by large companies for the specific needs of a particular production. Such decisions, in the end, bring economic benefits, but they are not cheap enough and require significant investment from the business owners. Accordingly, small and medium-sized businesses will not be able to allow such a decision to be implemented in their production. The solution of the problem for small and medium-sized businesses - the use of system proposed in this paper, which can be adapted in the period of design process to specific business needs, which will not entail large time costs. If we talk about universal systems the one considered in this paper, ones developed, can be integrated into a large number of such “small” in size production, as well as similar in production processes to other products. Also, in addition to the development of the system itself, the paper explores the possibility of its improvement and integration with the system of limit calculations. This is done to explore the possibility of improving the system itself and saving resources when using cloud computing. The relevance of the use of such systems for production with large and small volumes is studied. The work shows in detail the interface of the IoT development platform and the possibility of using it to predict abnormal temperature values. The essence of the case study is to report abnormal temperature rise and exceeding the limits when it could be dangerous for certain devices of the industrial production system or the product itself. Research object – an automated production process using the Internet of Things. Subject of research - cloud and edge computing systems. Scope of research – optimization of systems for production control within the concept of the Internet of Things. Goal of research - research and development of production control system using IoT technologies. Key words: IoT, IIoT, Internet of Things, cloud computing, edge computing, edge.
