Smart Sensor Configuration for Security System Automation Using FPGAIJTET Journal
Abstract--- Automation in industrial control and monitoring systems plays a vital role in maintaining smooth work environment and handling perilous situation that may occur in work area. The available systems mostly use physical cables for signal transfer between the sensors and the control system. These systems have some significant problems such as the cable installation and maintenance costs associated with moving and replacement of cables during machinery maintenance, configuration and re-configuration. While the technological evolution of sensors is reflected in sensors getting smart, small, light weight, and cheapest, another key development is taking place in the sensors industry in the growth of wireless sensor use in industrial applications. The proposed wireless sensor-based controls provide industry attention in order to reduce costs, better power management and ease in maintenance. Wireless sensors have been successfully implemented in many industrial applications because of its performance, monitoring, security development and control the sensor system etc.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

• On one hand, sensors are so ‘common’ they are
taken for granted and not seen as valuable assets
(low perceived value)
• On the other hand, our whole information society
heavily depends on sensor data which implies
they must be able to communicate reliable
information in real-time, hence turning them
into complex systems
