Nordic Walking is a modified version of the standard walking technique that involves the use of specific poles to increase the upper body engagement during the activity. In this article, the design and development of a monitoring system for Nordic Walking poles and its applications in workout sessions monitoring are discussed. The new data acquisition system was designed for outdoor activities, with a focus on proper technique and physiological parameters. The poles were equipped with an energy harvester system which allowed for long sessions due to the low energy consumption of the data acquisition system. Finally, a dedicated software was developed to store and analyze data obtained from different sessions.

The Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry conducted research to develop a long-term monitoring technology to clarify pore water pressure and water chemistry in drilled boreholes. An automatic data acquisition system for the long-term monitoring was also developed. The automatic data acquisition system has an independent electric power supply and data communication system. The electric power is supplied from solar and wind power. The data communication is secured through a satellite or 3G/4G line. A very low power consumption system can be readily installed by creating personal area networks between measuring devices using Zigbee digital radio. A demonstration of the system was conducted under harsh natural conditions for 18 months. It was confirmed that the system has sufficient reliability for actual operation.
