How are Wireless Sensor Networks employed in Industrial Automation

DO Supply

Wireless Sensor Networks, or WSNs, are infrastructure-less wireless networks that use thousands of spatially distributed sensors to monitor environmental and physical parameters, like temperature, motion, pressure, etc. Each sensor node collects data and transmits it to a sink node or a central hub using radio frequency. At this main location, it is processed, stored, and analyzed by a computer or a human.
