Abstract
A monitoring system comprises a floor covering with a sheet-type pressure sensor and a sensor control unit. The latter includes an ADC for providing a digital raw signal, a microcontroller configured to carry out data extraction by signal processing of the digital raw signal and generating a digital processed signal having a lower digital bandwidth than the digital raw signal, and a communications module connected to or integrated within the microcontroller so as to receive the digital processed signal. The communications module is configured to establish data communication with one or more database servers and to transmit the extracted data to the one or more database servers.
