LoRa Wireless Sensor Network for Factory or Substation Monitoring

Approx. component budget: Rs. 8,000 - 14,000

Objective

Build a network that reports from distant points and measure its range, packet loss and battery life.

What you will build

Three or four LoRa sensor nodes measuring temperature, current and vibration, a LoRa gateway with ESP32 and a dashboard showing live values, range and alarms.

Results you can expect

• Range vs packet loss at different spreading factors
• Power consumption of a node
• Battery life estimate
• Alarm response time

What you will learn

Low-power wide-area communication, sensor networks and industrial monitoring.

Tools and notes

ESP32 + LoRa modules, sensors, Arduino IDE, dashboard service, Excel. Use only licence-free bands allowed in India, and keep antenna power within the limit.

Resume points from this project

• Built and tested LoRa Wireless Sensor Network for Factory or Substation Monitoring; objective: build a network that reports from distant points and measure its range, packet loss and battery life.
• Measured and analysed range vs packet loss at different spreading factors and power consumption of a node; wrote the report and presented the results in a viva. Add your own numbers: [x].

Replace [x] with your own measured results. Write only what you really did.
