Flexnet™ is a Unattended Ground Sensor capability, [9] from the Swedish company Bertin Exensor, subsidiary of Bertin Technologies. It includes sensors with embedded processing, GPS, and radio communication. Those sensors are based on seismic-acoustic detection, passive infrared, electro-optical and magnetic detection techniques.

Product quality monitoring: temperature and humidity monitoring of perishables such as meat, produce, and dairy. Impact, vibration and temperature monitoring of consumer electronics, for failure analysis and diagnostic information, e.g. monitoring the vibration of bearings to detect frequency signatures that may indicate imminent failure.
Wireless sensor networks have been developed for machinery condition-based maintenance (CBM) as they offer significant cost savings and enable new functionality. [19] Wireless sensors can be placed in locations difficult or impossible to reach with a wired system, such as rotating machinery and untethered vehicles.
Among other applications, acceleration sensors are used to: Measure accelerations in motor vehicles, for example during the reconstruction of road accidents. Monitor machinery used on production lines that is sensitive to shocks or vibrations. Monitor and reduce wear in industrial plants and for increasing the performance of machines.
Tesla Autopilot, an advanced driver-assistance system for Tesla vehicles, uses a suite of sensors and an onboard computer. It has undergone several hardware changes and versions since 2014, most notably moving to an all-camera-based system by 2023, in contrast with ADAS from other companies, which include radar and sometimes lidar sensors.
It makes extensive use of embedded sensors and self-monitoring equipment combined with prognostics and diagnostic reasoning. In the case of vehicles it is typical for there to be a data acquisition module on-board and a diagnostic unit. Some vehicles can transfer selected data back to base while in use through various rf systems.
One speed monitoring technology which is undergoing testing in the US and Europe is called intelligent speed adaptation, which would assess the speed of the vehicle, and with the permission from the driver, automatically slow the vehicle down to the proper legal speed. If implemented, though, drivers would be able to override this system or ...
