Abstract

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has caused a serious health crisis with unprecedented socio-economic consequences. Since the declaration of a pandemic by the World Health Organization, most governments have applied control policies such as con nement, restriction of mobility, social distancing, etc. In this context, adapting educational planning to this scenario poses a great challenge for the global educational community. In addition, given that the face-to-face laboratory practices in higher education were temporarily canceled, the creation of realistic virtual scenarios using modern software applications represents an interesting and necessary alternative. This practical approach can be achieved by using two interesting software tools, such as Node-RED and Factory I/O. In this work, the implementation of a virtual laboratory plant is proposed using the tools mentioned above, with characteristics very similar to the real laboratory plants of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of A Coruña.
