Abstract

A system for measuring parameters in a container is disclosed. A system for measuring multiple parameters includes a container having a solution, at least one sensor in conjunction with a tag is in proximity to an impedance analyzer and a reader that constitute a measurement device. The at least one sensor is configured to determine at least one parameter of the solution. The tag is configured to provide a digital ID associated with the sensor, where the container is in proximity to the reader and an impedance analyzer. The impedance analyzer is configured to send and receive a given range of frequencies from the sensor, based on the parameter and calculate parameter changes based on the response.

Claims (8)

1. A method for measuring multiple environmental parameters, comprising:

obtaining a given range of frequencies from at least one sensor based on at least two environmental parameters;

calculating changes of the at least two parameters by using multivariate analysis on the real and imaginary parts of the complex impedance measured by an impedance analyzer as a function of the received frequencies sensor;

applying multivariate analysis to the data collected; and

quantifying the at least two environmental parameters of interest.

2. The method for measuring multiple parameters of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor is in conjunction with a tag and the method further comprises the step of:

obtaining a digital ID from the tag.

3. The method for measuring multiple environmental parameters of claim 1 , wherein the step of calculating at least two impedance parameters from the at least one sensor comprises using changes of the complex impedance.
