INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS

Prototype of a Wireless MEMS-Based Sensor Node within a Wireless Sensor Network Concept

  • 1 AGH University of Krakow, Poland

Abstract

The aim of this work is to implement a wireless communication system for MEMS-based sensors within the framework of Internet of Things (IoT) applications, specifically in the context of Predictive Maintenance (PdM). The focus is placed on developing a functional prototype of a wireless sensor node that enables efficient data acquisition and transmission from commercially available MEMS vibration sensors. The solution leverages an ESP32 microcontroller for data handling and Wi-Fi communication, forming the basis of a scalable wireless sensor network (WSN). The project emphasizes their integration into a wireless system architecture suitable for industrial monitoring scenarios. This approach aims to demonstrate how low-cost MEMS sensors, when combined with IoT technologies, can contribute to accessible and modular condition monitoring solutions aligned with Industry 4.0.
