The state of Florida is using wireless sensor tags in the city of Orlando, to ensure the state’s 14 hydrogen-powered vehicles do not leak. The system, designed and developed by researchers at the University of Florida, could also be utilized by dealerships throughout the country, as fuel-cell vehicles proliferate, in order to ensure those vehicles can be safely stored and maintained. In addition, this sensor platform has been used in bio- and medical-sensing applications. In this session, learn how the solution can be employed by other companies and organizations to address concerns related to the safety of hydrogen storage for fuel-cell vehicles and generators, as well as for medical applications.
