Georg Fischer Signet is an engineering firm that produces flow and analytical technology. The 2017-2018 Georg Fischer Signet Clinic Team aims to design, build, and test a corrosion-proof method of internally processing and communicating pH and temperature measurements to a remote data collection network. To avoid corrosion, the project implements wireless power through inductive coupling and wireless communication through Bluetooth Low Energy. A LoRa network architecture is used to receive data from multiple units.
