Non-Controlling Sensor Device

How can sensor readings be automatically collected and shared in an efficient and cost-effective manner?

Problem

Information about physical stimuli may be required by systems residing in completely different locations. Without a means of communicating this information, the systems cannot receive and process it.

Solution

A wireless sensor can be deployed to gather and convert data about physical stimuli so that it can be transmitted to receiving systems.

Application

A wireless sensor is deployed, capable of transducing physical stimuli into digital telemetry data that is transmitted via a modem.

The Non-Controlling Sensor Device pattern establishes the unidirectional flow of telemetry data to subscribed recipient client applications. (The orange arrows indicate telemetry data communication.)
