Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper is a well-written review article, with a tutorial edge. Coverage is good, as is the move from process industry research in the 1990s up to IoT work in the last few years,The story of the review is well structured and moves well towards its conclusions. The review is synthetic: detailing a description of the field, rather than any concrete results from the work. This means that the paper is a valuable review resource and can serve as a program for implementation and validation. I eagerly await further papers that give the results of implementation of this approach. 

The figures are all very difficult to read. Could they please be increased in size in the paper/PDF version?

There appears to be a hanging reference at page 8 line 270 " As discussed earlier in Section 5(C)" while we are in section 4. A cut/paste error from an earlier report?

Author Response

Thank you for your suggestions, we revised the manuscript accordingly.

We did this by making the figures larger. There appears to be a hanging reference at page 8 line 270 " As discussed earlier in Section 5(C)" while we are in section 4. A cut/paste error from an earlier report?
We fixed this error.

Thanks,

Reviewer 2 Report

The paper describes management framework for validation of MEMS-based sensing units for condition monitoring and structural integrity (CM&SI) applications. While the paper has more or less clear organization/structure the paper lacks concrete scientific contribution. To be more precise, the framework was not evaluated/compared with other approaches nor it usage is evaluated within some example from practice to see the benefits of the proposed approach. Great part of the paper just sums up information regarding MEMS and soft-sensors and gives guidelines regarding usage in CM&SI. The paper appears more as a Review paper since proper research is not conducted and should be written in such spirit by adding more information regarding MEMS based CM&SI.
