1. A system for monitoring a status of a screen panel configured for use in a material screening process, the system comprising:
- a screen panel configured for use in the material screening process;
an antenna coupled to the screen panel and configured to receive first electromagnetic energy; and
a processing circuit coupled to the screen panel and the antenna, the processing circuit configured to receive a signal from the antenna regarding the first electromagnetic energy and to cause the transmission of second electromagnetic energy in response to the receipt of the signal.
