Self-organizing systems and methods for data collection

Fuente: Wipo "Sensorization"
The present disclosure describes systems and methods for data collection in an industrial environment having self-organization functionality. A method can include analyzing a plurality of sensor inputs, sampling data received from the sensor inputs, and self-organizing at least one of (i) a storage operation of the data, (ii) a collection operation of sensors that provide the plurality of sensor inputs, and (iii) a selection operation of the plurality of sensor inputs. The method may further include receiving instructions directing a mobile data collector unit to operate sensors at a target, transmitting a communication to one or more other mobile data collector units regarding the instructions, and self-organizing a distribution of the mobile data collector unit.
