Precision |Electronic |Components |manufactures |circuit |boards, |microchips, |and |other |electronic |
products. |Given |the |precision |necessary |for |their |products, |the |manufacturing |environment |must |be |
controlled. |Temperature, |humidity, |static |electricity |and |other |factors |must |be |monitored. |After |losing
|several |batches |of |products |due |to |human |monitoring |failures |and |imprecise |adjustments, |the |
company |moved |to |a |system |of |sensors. |The |sensors |monitor |and |regulate |temperature, |humidity, |
static |electricity, |and |other |factors. |The |sensors |transmit |data |to |and |from |each |other, |and |the |
manufacturing |environment |is |continuously |adjusted |to |assure |production |is |successful. |The |network |
