Wireless develops extrasensory vision of future
The concept of wireless sensing is a fascinating and promising area. The potential for industrial, commercial and consumer uses boggles the mind and in some cases sounds like something from a futuristic movie.
Because of the vastness of potential applications, the hype at the introductory stages of this technology to some degree exceeds the level of technology available now in the real world. While some manufacturers have ventured forth with solutions for specific industrial applications, other organizations (including sensor manufacturers, the government and academia) are doing research and development on the bleeding edge of the vision for wireless sensor networks.
Wireless sensors are used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications such as machine condition monitoring, structural health monitoring, process control/discrete manufacturing control, biomedical, heating and ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) controls, logistics and agriculture. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it demonstrates the already wide array of uses being investigated for wireless technology.
