Cloud and Sensor-based Automation using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)

Cloud automation is one of the most promising and upcoming applications of IoT [1], as it allows users to control and monitor their environment remotely. Adopting the Internet of Things (IoT) in the automation industry has created an amazing opportunity to develop intelligent, automated systems. These systems can improve users' energy efficiency, security, and convenience. However, most automation systems based on microcontrollers may not be able to handle the complex and various tasks required in a modern environment. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) replace microcontrollers, providing a more powerful, flexible, and scalable solution for the latest automation systems [2]. FPGAs can perform multiple functions simultaneously, making them ideal for managing large amounts of sensor data and controlling signals in real-time. Moreover, FPGAs are reconfigurable, enabling custom application creation and new features catering to the user’s specific needs. The ecosystem can also include voice assistants and AI-powered systems to learn user preferences and automate tasks. To create an effective ecosystem, devices must be compatible and communicate through a standard protocol like Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, or Wi-Fi [13]. The ecosystem should also protect user privacy. A well-designed ecosystem can simplify daily tasks, increase comfort and convenience, and provide peace of mind by allowing users to monitor and control their systems remotely
