Wireless sensor networks (WSN) will have a great impact on businesses in future. Sensors can gather data from assets and business processes. A wireless sensor network is a system consisting of a multitude of autonomous devices with integrated sensors to monitor physical or environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, vibration or pollution. Each device/sensor node is linked up with the computing centre by means of radio data communication. Wireless-enabled sensor nodes can now easily be installed in spots where a wired system was not an option before such as in moving or rotating assets.

 
Typical applications for wireless sensor networks include surveillance, security, asset monitoring, building automation and industrial automation. Companies work under extreme competitive pressure these days. By deploying wireless sensors, relevant indicators on how resources and assets are performing can now be monitored in real time. The ability to analyse and instantly react on gathered data provides a huge competitive advantage increasing the transparency of business processes and the asset performance.
