The main technical objectives of this project are:

1. A wireless network platform of sensor devices providing the infrastructure for on-line and on-spot measuring (muli-sensors), processing (CPU powered modules) and acting (hardware actuators, switches and software reporting services).
2. An innovative and versatile optical sensor, ported in both wired and wireless form, which can be used for diverse monitoring applications, ranging from industrial machinery condition monitoring, to structural integrity monitoring of infrastructures.
3. A set of software tools and services that provide maintenance technicians and engineers with advanced means of local (PDA, mobile) and remote (web, intranet):
   • access to machinery condition state data, alarms and reports
   • access to intelligent advisory services that support decision making and preventive maintenance programs.
   • have advanced but practical multi-user interfaces, including speech interfaces, enabling fast and efficient human-computer device interaction to be implemented on-site and remotely.
   • calibration of the monitoring infrastructure and configuration of its operational parameters,
   • scheduling and management of maintenance activities and their supporting procedures.
4. Development of small-scale sensor embedded intelligence to :
   • capture - condition monitoring feeds of sampled parameters reflecting the operating behaviour,
   • detect – identify deviations from known/expected operating state
   • diagnose – identify operating conditions and faults.
   • predict – offer prognostic functions, such as remaining life estimations
