Application of Wireless Sensor Networks in Industrial Settings
Abstract
Recent advances in computing and communication have caused a significant shift in wireless sensor network (WSN) research and brought it close to achieving its original vision. WSNs have gained much attention in both public and research committees, because they are expected to bring the interaction between humans, environment, and machines to a new paradigm. The development of WSN requires technology from three different research areas: sensing, communication, and computing (including hardware, software, and algorithms). Combined and separate advancements in each of these areas have driven research in WSN. Small and inexpensive sensors based on Micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) technology, wireless networks, and inexpensive low power processors allow the deployment of wireless ad-hoc networks for various applications. This chapter discusses about WSN, industrial WSN, and technical challenges. One of the major challenges is reduction in power consumption. The chapter also discusses some of the major industrial applications and two case-studies of fire-fighting and home healthcare.
