Abstract
Numerous industries in the modern economy, e.g., power generation, environment protection, mining are prominent users of sensing technologies. Despite large increase in measurement technologies, many locations, especially remote, are still not being monitored, e.g., belt conveyors, large structures (boilers, cooling towers), moving structures (air heaters), remote machinery and other low-cost non-critical machinery. Some of the machines are covered by sensors using cable connection—this however yields high installation costs and maintenance problems. Using general purpose radio modems on the other hand makes it hard to achieve sufficient battery lifetime, range, and reliable connection. Fortunately, recent developments in low-power electronics and networking technologies open new possibilities in this field. The paper presents selected energy-efficient technologies and possibilities of their application for the condition monitoring of machinery, including long range, reliable and cost-effective radio modules, offering mesh networking capabilities, contactless battery system allowing convenient and safe in-field battery replacement in any environmental conditions and systematic approach to data processing including signal conditioning and validation.
