Abstract :
The paper summarizes the results of the RealFusion project. One of the main objectives of this project was to study the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) in real-life industrial environment. The results for the evaluation of different radios utilizing 433 MHz, 868 MHz and 2.4 GHz license-free industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) bands in real-life industrial environment are presented in the paper. Also, the paper discusses the results of development and evaluation of two real-life industrial WSN use cases: the WSN for remote monitoring the amount of bulk substances in the silos of a refractory materials factory and the WSN for remote warehouse monitoring.
