An apparatus includes a memory comprising executable instructions and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions. Executing the instructions causes the processor to receive a broadcast including measurement data captured by a first sensor, verify integrity of the measurement data, perform a quality control analysis on the measurement data by analyzing the measurement data using a quality control algorithm to form an analysis result, generate a response for broadcasting the analysis result, and broadcast the analysis result. The response comprises a determination of pass when the quality control analysis indicates that the measurement data passes the quality control analysis and a determination of fail, a suspected cause of the failure, and a recommended resolution for the suspected cause of the failure when the quality control analysis indicates that the measurement data fails the quality control analysis.

Localized sensor quality analysis and control

A computer-implemented method comprising capturing measurement data via a first sensor suite, broadcasting the measurement data via short-range communication, receiving, via the short-range communication, a broadcast including a quality control analysis result corresponding to the measurement data and determined by a second sensor suite, acting on the quality control analysis result, and performing quality control analysis for a third sensor suite.
