Remote IoT Corrosion Monitoring using Python
The goal for this application note is to show how to set up a remote IoT system for corrosion sensing using a PalmSens potentiostat coupled to a low-power single-board computer for connectivity. The idea is to have multiple of these 'in the field' attached to wind turbines, bridges, or other corroding infrastructure and monitor them via a central dashboard. The dashboard can be used to monitor corrosion rate over time.
