In this context, continuous supervision of refrigeration compressors is essential to prevent failures that may compromise thermal stability. This work presents the design, implementation, and experimental validation of a remote monitoring and condition-based maintenance framework built on Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies for air-conditioning compressors used in data centers. The proposed architecture integrates industrial-grade sensors for temperature, electric current, and vibration, a Siemens LOGO! programmable logic controller (PLC) for signal acquisition and scaling, a Node-RED middleware layer for data flow management, and the ThingSpeak cloud platform for remote storage and analysis. The novel contributions of this work are: (i) a fully integrated low-cost IIoT stack validated on a Copeland ZR144KCE-TF5 scroll compressor under real operating conditions over a continuous 49-day monitoring period; (ii) a hybrid anomaly detection model that combines Z-score statistical baselines with moving-average prediction error to reduce false positives from transient events; and (iii) a condition-based maintenance decision framework that maps the three monitored variables to ISO 10816-3 vibration severity zones and manufacturer-referenced thermal and electrical thresholds, producing recommended maintenance actions. The framework was applied to the acquired dataset, confirming predominantly stable operation (93.4% of samples in ISO 10816-3 Zones A\u2013B) while detecting an emergent mechanical-wear trend (5.64% of samples in Zone C) concentrated in the final days of the monitoring period and demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed architecture as a scalable and replicable solution for condition monitoring and maintenance decision support in critical technological infrastructures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s26092772","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T12:31:56Z","timestamp":1777465916000},"page":"2772","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["IIoT-Based Remote Monitoring System for Temperature, Current, and Vibration Using PLC and Node-RED in a Data Center Cooling Compressor: A Condition-Based Maintenance Framework"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-7101-085X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jefferson Dami\u00e1n","family":"Pinza Apolo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School, Universidad Tecnol\u00f3gica Israel, Quito 170522, Ecuador"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-0414-2597","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonathan Lizandro","family":"Bravo Robles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School, Universidad Tecnol\u00f3gica Israel, Quito 170522, Ecuador"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-6508-5204","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Luis","family":"Dum\u00e1n Zhicay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School, Universidad Tecnol\u00f3gica Israel, Quito 170522, Ecuador"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-9187-5691","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ramiro Xavier","family":"Cazares Guerrero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School, Universidad Tecnol\u00f3gica Israel, Quito 170522, Ecuador"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9547-939X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wilmer Fabian","family":"Albarracin Guarochico","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School, Universidad Tecnol\u00f3gica Israel, Quito 170522, Ecuador"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8939-8964","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paul Francisco","family":"Balde\u00f3n Egas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School, Universidad Tecnol\u00f3gica Israel, Quito 170522, Ecuador"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2787","DOI":"10.1016\/j.comnet.2010.05.010","article-title":"The Internet of Things: A Survey","volume":"54","author":"Atzori","year":"2010","journal-title":"Comput.
