SENNSE – Spatial hEritage ScieNce oNline Sensor Environment

SENNSE is a hardware/software platform for the monitoring and preservation of cultural heritage assets through the acquisition and subsequent analysis of multiple data feeds acquired from a large-scale wireless sensor network. The sensors and related nodes, based on widely used commercial technologies and microcontrollers such as Arduino, Esp32 and Raspberry PI, cover a wide range of micro-environmental measurements such as temperature, humidity, air quality, light quantity and many others. SENNSE natively implements the MQTT IOT protocol, ensuring that the data sent from the sensors, through the relevant nodes, will be small in size, and that transmission, even under difficult conditions and poor network coverage, will occur correctly. The open infrastructure can be easily customized facing the needs of users who, thanks to the implemented software platform can create their own dashboards and have the clearest possible information about the status of the monitored property. SENNSE can implement customized alarms to inform the user that certain preset thresholds are exceeded. In future, thanks to the use of actuators, users will be able to respond to these alarms by activating direct and effective countermeasures, and thanks to the use of artificial intelligence modules (under development) the system will be able to discovery data trends, to predict possible site Issues and to suggest correct tasks to be performed.
