The invention describes a system for monitoring industrial processes,
comprising sensor means for detecting one or more process quantities in
at least one process station, acquisition means for acquiring measuring
signals emitted by said sensor means, processing means operating on
signals generated by said acquisition means for obtaining process
information, and means for managing the manufacturing flow operating on
the basis of said information on process quality.According to the
invention, said acquisition means are arranged locally in said at least
one process station and comprise means for coding said measuring signals
generated by said sensor means into coded signals, said means for
managing the manufacturing flow are arranged in remote position with
respect to acquisition means and there are wireless transceiver means
associated to said acquisition means for sending coded signals generated
by said acquisition means to said means for managing the manufacturing
flow.
