  • Publication number: 20190312786
    Abstract: There are disclosed corresponding methods, systems, controllers (26) and software for machine (10) sensor network management. Upon receiving from a node a request to join an existing network of machine sensors (25), sound waves are emitted in the vicinity of the machine (10). The emitted sound waves are sensed by the node and a corresponding signal output is generated by the node. The signal output from the node is compared with the emitted sound waves and/or a further signal output from one or more machine sensor (25) in the existing network. The node request to join the existing network is authenticated or rejected based on the comparison.
