| Abstract |
Following the successful showcase of the Smart Fence technology, this project aims at using MEMS and Electro-Chemical Sensors in combination with Low-Power radios to implement industrial wireless sensing applications. In particular, and at the Chevron-Richmond refinery, fence-line gas sensing is added to the previous security application with regular reporting of H2S, CO and VOC concentrations. Using MEMS accelerometers and magnetometers, valve position monitoring and machine vibration sensing are added for safeguarding both personnel and equipment. This project is concerned both with the COTS-based hardware and software behind each application. |
