Abstract :
A wireless sensor node platform was created along with a base station that can be used to monitor various parameters in the industry. A literature survey was conducted on important parameters found in the industry. The various standards that are set out for these parameters were analysed. The developed wireless sensor node platform along with the base station shows that a wide variety of industrial parameters can be monitored at once from one central place. The simplistic deployment/instalment of the created wireless sensor node platform along with the centralisation of important industrial parameters should appeal to large industries and reduce the risk of accidental unfortunate events.
