    Abstract

    The dynamics of railway vehicles have changed from an essentially mechanical application into one that requires knowledge of sensors, electronics and computational processing. Industry 4.0 is a term that describes industrial activity by intelligent systems and solutions established on the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT). The present work illustrates the application of a conceptual cycle of an Internet of Things building a prototype, consisting on acquisition, processing and communication of data in the industrial context. Specifically, the monitoring of the dynamics of wagons using inertial sensors and algorithms that establish the fusion of sensors. The use of refined methods shows more reliable results in the use of low-cost sensors. Furthermore, the implementation of wireless communication enables the use of data in the creation of more complex analyses that can be applied in computational and instrumentation tools.
