Abstract :The development and advancement of technology allows people to access information in a variety of ways. Whether in commerce, marketing or communication, the amount and variety of data is increasing in every field. Collecting this data in different fields and drawing conclusions based on the data has become very important for the development of individuals, companies, industries, and countries, and especially collecting this data in databases has become popular. In this paper, an industrial database was created, a wireless sensor network was set up using ZigBee protocol for data collection, the collection of data in the database was done quickly and cheaply, and a natural language processing based Virtual Assistant was created to query the data. Unlike other traditional rule-based methods, Virtual Assistant has a non-predetermined structure that allows Virtual Assistant to answer different types of questions from the user. The communication between the created Sensor Network, database and Virtual Assistant is done using XMPP message protocol. Again, with the help of this protocol, a system is presented to communicate with the user. With the method presented in the study, the data in the relational database was made queryable regardless of location and platform. With the virtual help system provided, the distance between natural language and computer language is shortened and people can get information quickly and easily.
