Therefore, this project is to develop Android application for industrial use. The objective of this project is to carry out study about mobile application development on Android platform and to implement those studies to develop Android application with functionality of retrieving, monitoring and modifying the live information of industrial system. The result of this project is in the form of Android application which has functionality in retrieving the content from back-end database. The retrieved content is customized based on the user who retrieves it so that each user will be able to monitor their desired database content.
