Zusammenfassung:Methods, systems, and computer program products for in-pipeline maintenance, delivery and management of sensors are provided herein. An exemplary computer-implemented method includes detecting a sensor within a pipeline via an in-pipeline sensor management system, determining a path for the in-pipeline sensor management system to travel to the detected sensor, and automatically attaching the in-pipeline sensor management system to the detected sensor upon a determination that the in-pipeline sensor management system has completed the path and reached the detected sensor. The method also includes determining maintenance operations to be performed on the detected sensor based on real-time data pertaining to the sensor and historical operation records pertaining to the detected sensor. Further, the method includes performing the maintenance operations, via the in-pipeline sensor management system, on the detected sensor, and automatically detaching the in-pipeline sensor management system from the detected sensor upon determining that the maintenance operations have been completed.
