Laboratory experiments as part of learning activities which need special equipments such as Industrial Electronics Laboratory, are currently constrained due to the lack of access by educational institutions and students to adequate laboratory facility. This is especially true during the Covid-19 pandemic. Introlabs is an Industrial Electronics Laboratory system that allows laboratory activities to be carried out remotely via the internet. The design of Introlabs system is carried out by considering the specifications and required characteristics of the product. Introlabs uses a local Raspberry Pi server with Raspberry Pi Camera Module as the camera. The Introlabs web application is implemented using the Bootstrap, D3JS, and JQuery libraries. Communication between the server and the web application uses the HTTP and Websocket protocols for real-time communication. The server is implemented using the Javascript programming language on NodeJS runtime for the main server and Python for the camera streamer. As demonstrated from the tests carried-out, Introlabs web application can be accessed on 5 different operating systems (Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, and iOS). It has a maximum bandwidth usage of around 0.9 Mbps, a camera resolution of 480p, as well as hardware and server dimensions that meet the specifications. The web application, the server, and the camera system on Introlabs designed and implemented in this undergraduate final-project has already met the needs and characteristics of the product that have been determined in the specifications.
