Abstract
The demand for increased efficiency of production processes, while maintaining quality and safety in the operating environment, are permanent requirements of industrial revolutions. In the information age, data acquisition and its use to affect business strategies are being carried out by sensing production lines, tracking processes, and the product itself throughout its life cycle.
