This article will show how environmental sensing can be added to Industrial IoT designs with minimal effort using a single device and software from Bosch Sensortec.
The ability to measure environmental parameters can serve as the basis for building sophisticated wellness and safety features into factory and industrial applications, as well as smart buildings, appliances, and personal products. However, to provide these features and help meet regulatory requirements, developers need to find a means of efficiently merging results from multiple sensors that minimise space, power, and cost, while ensuring maximum accuracy, precision, and reliability.
To accomplish this, developers can now turn to sophisticated sensor fusion algorithms that are able to generate information about air quality, temperature, humidity, and overall comfort.
This article will show how this can be done with minimal effort using a single device and software from Bosch Sensortec, specifically, the BME680and its associated support hardware and software.
