Wireless Industrial Monitoring and Control Using a Smart Sensor Platform

Category: Security, Networking and Communications

Overview A wireless smart sensor platform (based on patent pending technologies) targeted for instrumentation and predictive maintenance system is presented in this paper. The generic smart sensor platform with 'Plug-and-play' capability supports hardware interface, payload and communications needs of multiple inertial and position sensors, and actuators, using a RF link (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or RFID) for communications, in a point-to-point topology. The design also provides means to update operating and monitoring parameters as well as sensor/RF link specific firmware modules 'Over-the-air'. Sample implementations for industrial applications and system performance are discussed.
