Abstract:Designed a monitor which is composed of microcontroller, MEMS sensors and Near Field Communication (NFC) module to supervise and record the transportation status parameters, such as acceleration, temperature and humidity. The measurement range of acceleration could reach ±16g, and the range of temperature and humidity are -40~85 ℃ and 0~100% RH, respectively. Meanwhile, the system power consumption has been fully optimized during the hardware model selection and software algorithm program, which makes the device’s standby time beyond 60 days. This monitor exchanges data with mobile terminal via NFC, suggesting mobile terminal can control the monitor and manipulate the data recording by means of the corresponding application program. Test results verify that the monitor records the “over-limit events” precisely and completely during the transportation, which could be widely used in logistics and transportation industries.
