Wireless automated environmental monitoring system

Abstract

Advancements in compact integrated circuit fabrication have allowed the amalgamation of wireless transceivers, signal processing, and sensors into a unified unit. This breakthrough enables seamless interaction with the physical realm, with applications spanning security, production oversight, and environmental monitoring. Herein, we investigate the design nuances of a distributed sensor network, where each node operates under energy and communication constraints. The integration of existing wireless technologies, computational capabilities, and organic polymers into a new breed of intelligent devices stands as a pivotal aspect. Within this article, we scrutinize the deployment of a wireless sensor network utilizing the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol. Leveraging organic polymers as a sensing stratum enhances energy efficiency and selective sensitivity in monitoring applications. Notably, the expeditious and cost-effective production of electronics rooted in organic polymers constitutes a substantial advantage. Flexible organic electronics, hinging on the semiconductor and flexible traits of organic materials, represent a foundational element of our technology. We delve into key performance prerequisites for operational devices, along with accomplishments and technical hurdles in the realm of designing and fabricating next-generation devices, targeting the optimization of products.
