This paper presents the newly improved design of wireless sensor technology for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system or continuous monitoring for Non Destructive Testing (NDT). Numerous researches have indulged in designing wireless sensor networks where the reliability and the capability to do rapid assessment on the aeronautical, mechanical and civil structure are concerned. A lot of challenges associated with the design have been discussed including on power consumption by the device with regards the operation nature over period of times vs. energy sources. This research project explores the implementation of Nano Watt XLPTM technology microcontroller from Microchip and applicable smart PZT sensors or the newly refined technique in (NDT) that utilise ultrasonic guided waveform response to detect structural defects. The developed SHM system provide low power wireless nodes to perform automatic data collection and analysis with possibilities to integrate with green energy sources more effectively thus reducing the cost of maintenance and increase the reliability of the system.
