THE GENERAL APPROACH OF SENSOR NETWORK363 KB

The Sensor Network (SN) [1] has become already a well-established concept widely used in many areas of industry such as automotive, mechanical engineering, food industry and energy supply, health care, etc. Rapid development of new technologies has brought novel approaches and implementation of new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud Computing, Big Data storage, management, etc. Current trends focus predominantly on monitoring and optimization of processes in order to increase effectiveness and reliability which can be effectively reached only with the help of sensor networks. This article focuses on the general sensor network structure, chances and pitfalls which are related to their use.
