In recent years, the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), have become a new trend to increase and to enrich the interactions between physical and virtual systems with the goal to create a truly connected world in which smart objects interact and exchange data with each other. The CPS is the core of the new industrial revolution called “Industry 4.0”, which promotes the computerization of manufacturing to...
Induction cooktops are very efficient systems, but, their energy consumption should be reduced using a temperature controller for optimizing the electrical power. Such controllers are already widely spread in several applications (air conditioning, ovens, etc.). Induction cooktops work with discrete levels of power, and, therefore, the user can select and modify the requested power level during the...
Systems enabling long-term monitoring of physiological data and everyday activities has been the subject of considerable research efforts in the last years, in order to improve the quality of life of patients, elderly people and common citizens at home, out of the hospitalization. With the availability of inexpensive, low power, wireless and integrated devices, current smart homes are typically equipped...
Simulators for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are one of the most important tools for systems development. They enable to study and evaluate new theories and hypotheses for sensors data gathering, testing new applications and protocols. Nowadays, there are a large number of open source WSN simulators and they can be divided into different categories according to their features and main applications...
Wireless Sensors Network (WSN) integration in a Cyber Physical System (CPS) is becoming one of the most important research topics for increasing the adaptability, autonomy, efficiency, functionality, reliability, safety, and usability in the wireless automation systems. Due the complexity of the CPS, simulators and emulators have to be used to replace the real experiments in order to provide necessary...
Most of the existing commercial node architectures provide little flexibility and configurability. This limitation constrains the usability of the same node across various applications, including the ambient intelligence issue. In this paper a novel architecture for the design of a modular wireless sensor node is proposed, dividing the connection and sensing functions in two separate boards. The division...
In this paper a wireless sensors network (WSN) has been designed according to the IEEE 1451 standard and installed in a manufacturing cell. On-line monitoring data have been collected and stored in a database through a Web2Py framework. A case study on the usage of WSN to perform an industrial performance analysis is made. A set of measures, comprehensive of all the production parameters of 4 different...
