This paper presents a sensing node computing ISO 2631-1\/AS 2670.1 exposure metrics on-device and transmitting metric records, not waveforms. The node combines an LIS2DH microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometer with an RP2040 microcontroller to calculate weighted root-mean-square (RMS) acceleration, daily exposure A(8), vibration dose value, maximum transient vibration value and crest factor. Algorithm-level verification showed that the implemented Wk filter reproduced the tabulated ISO 2631-1 response within 1.1% across 0.5\u201380 Hz. The node was compared under laboratory conditions with a CEM DT-178A datalogger whose 20 Hz recordings were reprocessed through a method-matched causal pipeline. Across ten trials per configuration under vertical excitation in the 6.3 Hz one-third-octave band, mean Z-axis A(8) differences were \u22124.5% (wired) and \u22127.9% (wireless). The datalogger\u2019s 20 Hz sampling was included within the comparison chain, and the lower realised Wk gain was consistent with the direction and approximate magnitude of the observed offset. Metric-level telemetry reduced the sustained payload rate by up to four orders of magnitude at the summary cadence, supporting bandwidth-constrained uplinks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s26185937","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,22]],"date-time":"2026-09-22T10:21:48Z","timestamp":1790072508000},"page":"5937","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An Edge-Computing Sensor Platform for ISO 2631-1 Whole-Body Vibration Exposure Metrics"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-1662-0106","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shenshi","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Physics, University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW 2522, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-7959-7097","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoxiao","family":"Bu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW 2522, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2077-9640","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jane L.","family":"Whitelaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical, Indigenous and Health Sciences, University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW 2522, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7655-514X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Enbang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Physics, University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW 2522, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"191","article-title":"Whole-Body Vibration in the Mining Industry: A Systematic Review of Assessment Methods","volume":"40","author":"Ntsiful","year":"2023","journal-title":"Min.
