Traditionally, the measuring or monitoring system of manufacturing industries uses sensors, computers and screens for their quality control (QC). The acquired information is fed back to the control room by wires, which - for obvious reason - are not suitable in many environments. This paper describes a method to solve this problem by employing the new Bluetooth technology to set up a complete new system, where a total wireless solution is made feasible. This new QC system allows several line scan cameras to be connected at once to a graphical user interface (GUI) that can monitor the production process. There are many Bluetooth devices available on the market such as cellular telephones, headsets, printers, PDA etc. However, the detailed application is a novel implementation in the industrial QC area. This paper contains more details about the Bluetooth standard and why it is used (network topologies, host controller interface, data rates, etc.), the Bluetooth implementation in the microcontroller of the line scan camera, and the GUI and its features.
