Development and test of the software for a swarm of mobile sensory nodes floating in liquids of industrial manufacturing

Abstract

This master thesis contributes to the work in the research project PAC4PT-ROSIG at the institute of integrated Sensor systems ISE in cooperation with five indus-trial partners. The project PAC4PT-ROSIG, grant no. 16SV3604, is supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in the program mst-AVS. The project contributes to the challenge of a large scale research project with five industrial partners and a pilot application in the brewery industry. The overall goal is to develop a swarm of wireless sensory nodes for distributed measurement of several process relevant physical parameters in the wake of the brewery process stages. In the thesis, the software to take the node from sleep mode to periodic meas-urement, including localization of nodes position, and final communication of the col-lected data to a base station will be evolved and, in particular, be tested and refined with an emerging PCB-level hardware realization of the aspired node architecture in the tar-get application.
