Abstract: The paper presents analyses of the implementation of IoT in the patent technology of the remote measuring laboratory (VMLab). The technology allows to create a new electrical connection between different devices, where the connection diagram was not defined before. This may be done remotely around the world. To begin with, an application of this technology as a remote measuring laboratory is presented and described. Analyses of the possible application of IoT technology in the Remote Measurement Laboratory (VMLAB) with a final design are also presented. The research focuses on an efficient way to retrieve measured values synchronized over the Internet from multiple measuring devices and controllable devices, without an Ethernet or Wi-Fi interface from the manufacturer. The analyses may also be useful when implementing an additional IoT approach to existing systems.
