Popis: The sensing performance of a self-calibrated Wireless Sensing System (WSS) was evaluated under laboratory and real environment conditions. The Wireless Sensing Node consists of a sensor array based on chemocapacitors, which is integrated with appropriate low power consumption read-out electronics and is connected with appropriate wireless module. The sensing system was evaluated and calibrated under laboratory conditions with two different VOCs transfer methods: dynamic and static. The sensing unit calibration deals with changes of VOCs and/or humidity concentration and temperature variations, simulating the real industrial environment. Finally the WSS was placed in the workspace of a printed flexing packaging industrial installation and comparison with the already installed commercial detectors was performed. A very good agreement between the results of the two measurement systems is demonstrated. Additionally these results showed that the WSS is characterized by fast response with high repeatability and long-term stability. Concluding, this system is suitable for the targeted application.
