The conventional method of monitoring efficiency in garment industry is to collect the number of pieces produced per hour by each line manually and entered in the website . This method is time consuming, wastage of man power, and involves non valued activities. The IOT based line efficiency monitoring system that checks the efficiency of end line production in garment industry in real time through weight sensor (one for each parameter: pass pieces, defect pieces) . Weight of the garment and the target per hour are given as the input. As a variation in the value of weight sensor signifies that garment is dropped into the bin, therefore the number of pieces produced is increased and vice versa. The Wi-Fi module in the system transfers data processed by the microcontroller, and transfers the data to the website as well as smart phone. This system can help the factory officials to monitor efficiency at real time basis. Keywords: IoT, Weight sensor, Node MCU, real time efficiency monitoring.
