Description The activity of the thesis project concerns the redefinition of the architecture of a wireless system for distributed monitoring, which is capable of measuring different quantities representative of the transformation process of food products of animal and/or plant origin. The system, which is characterized by a general purpose architecture, will be specialized to measure different quantities of interest, ensuring the metrological traceability of the measurements provided through the definition of innovative calibration procedures. Furthermore, by implementing solutions that use transmission protocols for the communication, it is important to guarantee the security and integrity of the data exchanged between each measurement node and the central data collection unit.
Once the quantities affecting the quality of the final processed product have been identified for different case studies, the general architecture will be specialized by including the corresponding sensors in the measurement nodes.
The system has to be qualified from a metrological point of view by means of an uncertainty assessment that includes an estimation of the expected drift of the measurement chain components.
Required skills Analogue and digital electronics, software applications for PCB design (KiCAD, OrCAD, Altium...), development of firmware for microcontrollers.
