With the rapid
development of digitalization throughout the world, many things that were not
possible in the past have become possible now. In addition to the great
contributions of digitalization, it carries the data collection, storage and
processing stages to a very different dimension, especially for engineering
disciplines. Within the engineering disciplines, especially in engineering
studies where field studies are abundant, the time lost during the data
collection phase, the cost required for field work, the cost required during the
data storage phase, and the increased workload in data processing, eliminating
all these problems with the use of digitalization in these engineering studies,
and accessing data instantly, It offers facilities such as storage and
processing. With the help of IOT technology, which is frequently used today,
the desired data can be easily obtained with the help of sensors and the
collected data can be transmitted to the desired warehouse through software and
other technologies easily through data communication. In addition to IOT
technology, cloud computing can also provide data storage without using a
physical storage for data storage and at low cost. In this study, it is aimed
to develop an IOT and cloud-based distance meter device that can be used for field
studies. This device is intended to be used in engineering disciplines
involving field studies. According to the results of the research, the device
can automatically transfer the data obtained with IOT technology to cloud
computing via the internet and has successfully performed 24/7 data collection,
storage and analysis.
