Microcontroller Firmware Design for Industrial Wireless Sensors

Abstract

In Industry 4.0 ambience and product surveillance requests a flexible embedded solution with modular microcontroller firmware for use in a mobile sensor system. The approach of modular firmware design, presented here addresses energy consumption reduction, flexibility for use in different kind of scenarios, optimized interaction with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio hardware as well as in-system evaluation of measurement data.
