A method for operating a sensor system includes detecting (903) a first wake trigger by a plurality of sensors for a component disposed in a remote location, generating (905), by each sensor, sensor service data that includes a battery charge level of the sensor, determining (909) an active sensor according to the sensor service data of each sensor of the plurality of sensors, and assigning (915) the active sensor to enter an active mode assigning (913) each sensor of the plurality of sensors, other than the active sensor, to enter a sleep mode (1033), generating (917), by the active sensor, sensor reading data for the component until an inactive trigger is detected, sending (919) the sensor reading data using a wireless transmission to a sensor data server, and leaving the active mode by the active sensor and entering a sleep mode in response to the active sensor detecting (921) an inactive trigger.
