Abstract
The early alert monitoring system for an effective scheduled maintenance strategy based on a wireless technology requires reliable transfer of the diagnostic information between the sensor and the gateway. This paper presents an industrial wireless sensor network (IWSN)-based machine condition monitoring (MCM) system capable of overcoming a false indication caused by temporary loss of data, signal interference, or invalid data. We use multisensor fusion driven by a quality parameter, which is produced by each sensor node according to the data history outliers and the actual state of the node. The fusion node provides a quality evaluation on its output as well. This novel approach enables the propagation of information about the uncertainty of a measured value from the source node to the sink node. Thus, potential degradation of acquired or transferred diagnostic information is minimized. Instead of raw data, the signal features are transferred, so that bandwidth savings are rapidly improved. The proposed concept was experimentally verified on real wireless sensor network (WSN) hardware. The performance evaluated using the signal-to-noise ratio and false-alarm rate detection demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
