Abstract
In an increasingly automated society monitoring becomes more and more important. Especially in production lines sensors play a vital role in ensuring quality and uniformity in products. A broad range of sensors are being employed to handle the task. In this paper we examine a selection of directional sensors in a vertical farm setting. By use of a Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm we try to maximize the surface area covered by a sensor in a bounded environment. It is possible for the algorithm to improve upon an initial, randomly generated position of the sensor and find a near optimal solution with maximized surface area covered. Additionally, we find that static sensors are being outperformed significantly by sensors with gyral capabilities.
