Where should these sensor networks be deployed? Anywhere that will allow you to effectively manage your enterprise with more precision and cost-savings... if you could acquire more useful data.

In some cases, the data has not been previously accessible. In others, the cost of wiring was too high.

Typical examples of sensor use would be in the following areas:

• Temperature
• Humidity
• Pressure
• Flowrates
• Identification and Manifesting of Shipping Records
• Motion Detection
• Vibration
• Location
• Inventory Control
• Chemical Concentration Monitoring
• Density,
• Magnetic fields and
• Security

This list is not exhaustive. However, it will allow the potential user to imagine where these new technologies could be put to effective use in their business. 

An excellent attribute of these wireless sensing devices is that they are flexible and configurable. They can be deployed and redeployed as the characteristics of a given business change, thus providing additional cost value to businesses that experience changes in their operating processes.
