Fuente: Wipo "Sensorization" A system, method and apparatus for data collection related to a chemical production process are described. The system may include a cross point switch including a plurality of inputs and a plurality of outputs, a plurality of sensors operatively coupled to at least one of a plurality of components of the chemical production process, a sensor data storage profile circuit structured to determine a data storage profile, wherein the cross point switch is responsive to the data storage profile to selectively couple at least one of the plurality of inputs to at least one of the plurality of outputs, a sensor communication circuit communicatively coupled to the plurality of outputs of the cross point switch, and a sensor data storage implementation circuit structured to store at least a portion of the plurality of sensor data values in response to the data storage profile.
