Wireless Sensor Network Based Alarm Detection and Monitoring of Cyber-Physical System with Mobile Robot Inspection

Abstract

The cyber-physical systems has been an evergrowing terminology in today’s evolving Industry 4.0, combining improved information technology and automation solutions, data and physical elements and the ability to connect devices to one another using wireless sensor networks. In this paper we present alarm detection and monitoring system using the wireless sensor network (WSN) with the mobile robot inspection. An abnormal event could happen in any uncertain time, so we need more sensor nodes in industrial environment to set alarm precisely if abnormal event happen. Our framework includes the autonomous robot (agent) as an integral part of wireless sensor network and the mobile robot travels to the positions, where the alarm was detected to investigate. The aim of our work was to develop alarm detection system that could help in different factory to install reliable alarm detection systems with localizing and monitoring capability within a relatively lower cost. As such, it could be replicated anywhere including complex event processing.
