Wireless Industrial Monitoring and Control Using a Smart Sensor Platform

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.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
