Miniature wireless smart sensor system for asset monitoring
FY 2012-13
Summary
The proposed market assessment project deals with a miniature wireless sensor system for monitoring of high-value assets found in diverse sectors, including food and beverages, agriculture, healthcare, and manufacturing. The monitoring using the proposed wireless sensor system involves real-time measurement of vital parameters (such as temperature, relative humidity, damage detection, location, etc.) with high precision and sending these data wirelessly to users' computers or mobile devices. The resulting system will be based on MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) sensors and wireless networks. It is unique with respect to its small size, low power, light weight, and high precision measurement. This system has vast market potential in real-time monitoring of assets (with particular focus on temperature, damage detection, and location) in food and beverages, transportation, agriculture, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors.
