Investigating the Performance of Bluetooth Technology by Sensor Monitoring in Industrial WSN

Abstract

The use of Bluetooth technology in industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) offers performance benefits, such as high network throughput, scalability, and extended range. As such, it has become a popular choice for performing critical industrial monitoring operations that require constant monitoring of multiple sensors distributed throughout a factory or warehouse. This paper examines the performance of a Bluetooth WSN in an industrial setting, and evaluates the advantages of using Bluetooth for sensor monitoring. Results from real-world deployments are presented as well as simulations, making up a comprehensive picture of the benefits of using Bluetooth for industrial monitoring. The findings of this research indicate that Bluetooth is a viable choice for future industrial WSN deployments, providing reliable and robust coverage even in difficult industrial environments.
