Introduction
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential to revolutionize various industrial applications. These networks consist of small, low-cost sensor nodes that communicate wirelessly to collect and transmit data from the physical environment. In industrial settings, WSNs can be used for monitoring and controlling processes, tracking assets, and improving overall efficiency and productivity.
This thesis aims to explore the development of WSNs for industrial applications, focusing on the challenges and opportunities that arise in this context. The research will investigate the design, implementation, and deployment of WSNs in industrial settings, with a specific emphasis on reliability, scalability, and security.
