SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CALIBRATING SENSORS OF INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT) SYSTEMS

A system for calibrating a sensor communicatively coupled to a communications network, the system comprising:

• an emulator configured to, during operation, generate and provide to the sensor one or more inputs of known magnitude;
• and
• one or more computing devices communicatively coupled to the emulator and the sensor, the one or more computing devices having stored therein data relating to response characteristics of the sensor, wherein the one or more computing devices each comprise a processor, a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, and computer executable instructions stored on the memory, and are configured to, during operation:
• analyze data acquired from the sensor and recognize data patterns indicating a loss of data integrity in the sensor;
• initiate a calibration of the sensor in response to the loss of data integrity in the sensor by:
• causing the emulator to generate and provide to the sensor the one or more inputs of known magnitude;
• receiving, via the communication network, one or more outputs of the sensor responsive to the one or more inputs of known magnitude;
• and
• generating calibration data for the sensor based on the one or more outputs of the sensor and the response characteristics of the sensor.
