  6. Wireless Sensor Network at Industries

  7. Industrial Monitoring and Controlling • Three types of monitoring • Process monitoring • Staff monitoring • Machineries monitoring and controlling • companies often use manual labor-intensive techniques. • increases the cost • human errors

  8. Industrial Monitoring and Controlling and Sensors • some monitoring process can not be done by human beings • they are out of reach • it is dangerous to monitor them directly ( for example because of RF interference/Highly caustic or corrosive environments/High humidity levels /Vibrations /Dirt and dust) Without sensors these types of monitoring are very difficult or impossible!!

  9. Applications of WSN in Industry • Building automation • Building access controls , HVAC controls , Lighting controllers, Thermostat , Lifts / Elevators / Escalators , Remote alarm triggering , Water Management, Electrical blinds

  10. Applications of WSN in Industry • Industrial process automation • Water/Wastewater Monitoring • Landfill Ground Well Level Monitoring and Pump Counter • Flare Stack Monitoring • Water Tower Level Monitoring • Vehicle Detection • Agriculture • Windrow Composting • Greenhouse Monitoring

  11. Applications of WSN in Industry • Electric utility automation • Monitoring device parameters • Automatic meter reading • Inventory management • Monitoring the inventory product conditions and environment

  12. Machine Health Monitoring or Condition based maintenance • Condition-based maintenance (CBM) -significant cost savings and enable new functionalities. • US Navy shipboard systems -reduced manning levels -automated maintenance monitoring systems. Inaccessible locations, rotating machinery, hazardous or restricted areas, and mobile assets can now be reached with wireless sensors.

  13. What happens at Industry • Wireless tiny sensor nodes are installed on industrial equipment • Sensors monitor the parameters critical to each equipment • based on a combination of measurements such as vibration, temperature, pressure, and power quality

  14. What happens at Industry (contd.) • Data are then wirelessly transmitted to a sink node that analyzes the data from each sensor • Any potential problems are notified to the plant personnel as an advanced warning system. • This enables plant personnel to repair or replace equipment before their efficiency drops or they fail entirely. • In this way, catastrophic equipment failures and the associated repairing can be prevented in advance.

Design Goal: Resource-efficient design • Energy saving with energy-efficient protocols • Energy-aware routing on network layer • Energy-saving mode on MAC layer • For certain FEC (forward error correction) codes, hop-length extension decreases energy consumption • Hardware optimizations • Sleeping schedules to keep electronics inactive most of the time, dynamic optimization of voltage, and clock rate • System-on-chip (SOC) technology for low power consumption by integrating a complete system on a single chip ( ZigBee SOC, CC2430, EM250) • Local data processing

  18. Design Goal: Resource-efficient design • Energy Recovery/Acquisition: Energy harvesting technique • Extracts energy from environment Some approaches • Photovoltaic cell with rechargeable battery • Background radio signal: small energy • vibrations, thermoelectric conversion, human body • RF signal transmission: safety issue • employing piezoelectric materials

  19. Challenge: Data redundancy • High Density in network topology cause redundant data in both spatial and temporal domain • Spatial correlation: redundant data possibly from nearby sensors • Temporal correlation: redundant data from consecutive observation

  20. Design Goals: Data fusion and localized processing Data aggregation and fusion • Locally filter the sensed data and transmit only the processed one • Only necessary information is transported to the end-user Intermediate node checks the contents of incoming data and then combines them by eliminating redundant information under some accuracy constraints

  21. Challenge: Packet errors and variable-link capacity • Attainable capacity and delay at each link depends on • Location • Interference level perceived at the receiver • Varying characteristics of the link over space and time due to obstructions and noisy environment • High bit error rates

  22. Interference • Broadband interference • Generated by motors, inverters, computers, electric-switch contacts, voltage regulators, pulse generators, thermostats, and welding equipment • Have constant energy spectrum over all frequencies and high energy • Emitted unintentionally from radiating sources • Narrowband interference • Intentional and have less Energy • Caused by UPS system, electronic ballasts, test equipment, cellular networks, radio–TV transmitters, signal generators, and micro wave equipment

  23. Design Goals: Fault tolerance and reliability • Sensed data should be reliably transferred to the sink node (specially mission-critical information) • Programming/command and queries should be reliably delivered to the target sensor node to assure the proper functioning • To combat the unreliability, verification and correction on each communication layer are required • automatic repeat request (ARQ): not suitable for real time system • forward error correction (FEC) • hybrid schemes.

  24. Design Goal: Fault tolerance and reliability • Forward error correction (FEC) • Improve the error resiliency more than ARQ • Radio-modulation techniques to reduce interferences and improve reliability • Direct- sequence spread spectrum • Frequency-hopping spread spectrum Benefits of SSM: • Multiple access • Anti-multipath fading • Anti jamming

  25. Challenge:Security Security for externalattacks and intrusion • Passive attacks: eavesdropping on transmissions , traffic analysis, disclosure of message contents • Active attacks: modification, fabrication, and interruption (in case of IWSN, node capturing, routing attacks, or flooding) • External denial-of-service attacks and intrusion

  26. Design Goal:Secure design • Low level and high level security should be addressed • key establishment and trust control, secrecy and authentication, privacy, robustness to communication DoS, secure routing, resilience to node capture • secure group management, intrusion detection, secure data aggregation • Security overhead should be balanced against QoS

  27. Challenge:Dynamic topologies and harsh environmental conditions In harsh industrial environments, the topology and connectivity of the network may vary due to • link and sensor-node failures • a portion of sensor nodes to malfunction

  28. Design Goal: Adaptive network operation • Adaptability enables to cope with dynamic wireless-channel conditions and new connectivity requirements for new industrial processes • Adaptive signal-processing algorithms and communication protocols are required to balance the trade offs among • Resources • Accuracy • Latency • time synchronization requirements

  29. Challenge: Quality-of-service requirements • Accuracy between the data reported and what is actually occurring in the industrial environment • Time sensitive data should be reached in a timely manner • Different IWSNs have different QoS requirements and specifications

  30.
