Assessment of Wireless Signal Propagation in an Obstacle Rich Environment and Maintenance Communication Capability

There is a high and constant thrive to utilize a variety of wireless communication systems to achieve some sort of remote monitoring and/or controlling processes and systems overall. The wood processing industry is no exception but there is still an ultimately low presence of such systems, either in automated or semi-automated form, but their rise and presence has become inevitable and is constantly growing. Such an exemplary system is set up and adjusted in the Spačva wood processing industry where wireless devices are used for constant monitoring of environmental parameters and wood structural moisture in a wooden plank during the phase of naturally aspired drying process and forced one in a controlled environment. However, because of fact that such devices must be tightly incorporated into a pack of planks a new problem arises regarding wireless signal propagation that becomes significantly affected. This paper deals with the problem in a way that we describe and propose a technique to strengthen measurement device and receiving unit wireless signal propagation to maintain quality communication link. Also, we define some practical guidelines for keeping good signal and their maintenance propositions.
