Applications of Zigbee Wireless Technology Tomeasurement System in Grain Storage

Wireless sensor network (WSN) has attracted more and more attentions in the computer science and communication research community. It has appeared a great potential in numerous industrial applications. In this paper a wireless sensor network based on ZigBee protocol for the measurement system in grain storage was developed and tested as an alternative to the cable system, which showed better efficiencies of the cost and time in the installation and maintenance than a cable system. Based on above study a new ZigBee sensornode was built to measure the grain temperature and the temperature, moisture and pressure drop of the air through a bulk grain system. The wireless data transmission and the power consumption were tested. This paper proposed a practical solution for the ZigBee protocol
