Integrated 3d printed wireless sensing system for environmental monitoring

A method of assembling a wireless sensor device for monitoring an environmental condition comprising:

• printing, using an inkjet printer, an enclosure comprising a plurality of side panels, wherein printing the enclosure comprises:
• printing a temperature sensor and a gas sensor onto at least one of the plurality of side panels;
• and
• printing an antenna onto at least one of the plurality of side panels;
• and
• attaching the plurality of side panels to a circuit board panel that comprises a computing device and a wireless transmitter, where attaching the plurality of side panels aligns a first electrical connection associated with the circuit board panel to a second electrical connection associated with the plurality of side panels, the computing device being in data communication with the temperature sensor, the gas sensor, and the wireless transmitter, wherein the wireless transmitter is coupled to the antenna.

A system, comprising:

• a wireless transmitter;
• an enclosure at least partially formed from a plurality of side panels;
• an inkjet-printed sensor coupled to at least one of the plurality of side panels, the inkjet-printed sensor being used to provide a measurement of an environmental condition;
• and
• a computing device coupled to the wireless transmitter and coupled to the inkjet-printed sensor, the computing device configured to transmit, via the wireless transmitter, the measurement to a remote computing device.
