Claim 31:
32. A sensing system for wireless and passive monitoring of strain during a manufacturing process that depends on force to apply the energy into the manufacturing process, the sensing system comprising:
at least one surface acoustic wave, SAW, sensor for detecting strain, the at least one SAW sensor being positioned in a force path located on or in the structure of one or more objects under test;
at least one transceiving antenna arrangement being connectable to the at least one SAW sensor; and
a modular reconfigurable protective enclosure configured to partially or completely enclose a selected object under test of the one or more objects under test;
wherein the at least one SAW sensor and the at least one transceiving antenna arrangement are arranged to receive energy from an interrogation signal and output a strain response signal detected by the at least one SAW sensor in response to the interrogation signal.
