Description: An in-situ sensor is a device designed to measure conditions directly in the environment being studied. Unlike sensors that require sampling or operate remotely, in-situ sensors are located where the phenomena to be monitored occur. This allows them to provide real-time and highly accurate data on variables such as temperature, humidity, pressure, air quality, among others. These sensors are fundamental in various applications, including but not limited to Internet of Things (IoT) environments, where real-time data collection is crucial for informed decision-making. The ability to operate in the specific environment allows in-situ sensors to offer contextualized information, improving data quality and the effectiveness of solutions based on them. Furthermore, their integration with IoT networks enables continuous data transmission to analysis platforms, facilitating monitoring and control of processes across various industries, from agriculture to water resource management and public health.
