Abstract
The invention relates generally to an Internet of Things (IoT) enabled wireless sensor system using attached and/or embedded passive electromagnetic sensors (PES) with distribution hardware. One embodiment of this invention includes a wireless sensor system, which permits process control and predictive maintenance on a utility's electrical transmission and distribution grid. Another embodiment includes a wireless sensor system, which permits process control and predictive maintenance of liquid or gas through a pipeline. Another embodiment includes a wireless sensor system, which permits measurement of breathable air pollutants. Furthermore, a method of manufacturing a protective passive electromagnetic sensor pod and passive electromagnetic sensor equipped distribution hardware components is provided.
