Abstract
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has led to a serious health crisis with unprecedented socioeconomic consequences. Since World Health Organization’s pandemic declaration, most governments applied control policies such as lockdown, mobility restriction, social distancing and so on. In this context, adapting educational planning to that scenario carries a major challenge for the global education community. Furthermore, since higher education face-to-face laboratory practice has been temporarily cancelled, creating realistic virtual scenarios by means of modern software applications represent an interesting alternative. This practical approach can be achieved by using two interesting software tools such as Node-RED and Factory I/O. In this paper, the implementation of a virtual laboratory plant using tools mentioned above, with very similar features to the laboratory plants at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of A Coruña is proposed.
