Description

In all areas of industrial production and construction, companies have to implement processes with increasing complexity to satisfy their customer’s needs in respect of product quality and continuity. To fulfil these requirements, a continuous process monitoring and documentation is required to assure the process quality. To handle changing documentation needs of industrial processes, wireless sensor networks offer a cost efficient and flexible way to implement additional sensors.
