Build a Pump Monitor for Railway Applications with Zephyr OS

Explore the development of a pump monitoring system for railway applications using Zephyr OS in this informative conference talk. Discover how the nRF9160 SiP is utilized to track pump usage data and transmit it to the cloud via LTE-M/NB-IoT. Learn about the system's features, including temperature, moisture, and pressure sensors, as well as an accelerometer for pattern recognition. Gain insights into the electronic and software architecture design, and understand how Zephyr OS addresses challenges and offers advantages over vendor-exclusive SDKs. Delve into key design decisions in hardware and firmware, applicable to low power projects, and see how this system is being implemented by Deutsche Bahn for monitoring wastewater tanks on high-speed trains. Understand the maintenance-free operation of up to three months before battery recharge is required.
