In this work, a cloud remote monitoring system to sense the hydraulic pressure of a piping is implemented on a single-board computer, Raspberry Pi. Furthermore, an alert scheme is designed to send by e-mail messages of warnings when the measured variable is out of range. In this manner, operators could be able to know the status of a hydraulic process even if they are situated far away from the physical equipment. The monitoring system includes the setting up and characterization of an analog pressure sensor, which requires the use of an analog-digital converter to be connected to Raspberry Pi. By means of Python programming language, the data acquisition and cloud computing are achieved with the support of the ThinkSpeak platform. Experimental probes show a feasible performance about to use a single-board computer to applications of the Industrial Internet of Things. In addition to a correct operation as a real-time data acquisition system, alerts via email in a timely manner have been programmed for applications in the area of cloud computing.
