Low-power data transfer

Abstract

A maintenance monitoring and recommendation infrastructure can include a plurality of monitors, which can be attached to various industrial equipment. The monitors can include a plurality of sensors and wireless and/or wired communication circuitry to transmit the sensor data to a receiver. The receiver can be connected to the maintenance monitoring infrastructure, where the sensor data can be used to perform maintenance data analysis and provide artificial-intelligence-based maintenance recommendations. In some embodiments, the monitors can be battery-powered. An efficient wireless communication method between monitors and receivers can include splitting a payload into packets, transmitting a plurality of packets, sequentially, waiting for receipt acknowledgement from the receiver and resending a missing packet, before sending a additional bursts.
