Abstract
A modular sensor system may include railings that connectively couple with one another. The modular sensor system may include a first compartment body that couples to the railings. The modular sensor system may include sensors positioned in an interior region or on an exterior surface of the first compartment body. In some embodiments, the railings may be connectively coupled to define an interior space that includes a shape corresponding to at least a partial perimeter shape of an industrial machine with the interior space of the modular sensor system interfacing with the industrial machine. In some embodiments, a second compartment body may be coupled to the railings. In some embodiments, the modular sensor system may include a surface panel that pivots along an axis of rotation from a first position perpendicular to the railings to a second position parallel to the railings and covering the interior space.
