  • Publication number: 20220097013
    Abstract: An agitator is configured to move within a vessel in order to circulate at least one substance, the agitator including at least one sensor, the sensor being configured to detect parameters of the circulating process and/or parameters of the substance and/or parameters of an reaction and/or parameters of the agitator, and agitator being configured to supply energy to at least one sensor in a wireless manner and to transmit sensor signals to an evaluating device. The invention further relates to an agitator system with such an agitator and a method for detecting and measuring, respectively, process parameters in a wireless and/or battery-free manner.
