Wireless Sensor Network for Industry 4.0

Abstract: This paper provides a sneak view on the scope of wireless sensor network in industry 4.0. These networks have got a vital role in future industries in terms its monitoring, safety and thus the productivity in the factory. Many small embedded sensors capable of acquiring information from the surrounding are deployed at different parts of the industrial equipment. These sensors continuously monitor the technical parameters and communicate with a centralized base station which is linked with the cloud system. The type of sensor network to be implemented is based upon the industrial environment.

Keywords: Wireless Senor Network, Base Station, Sensor Node, Industry 4.0, Internet of Things.
