Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) which is used for monitoring various applications. While transmitting the data from source to destination (server), the amount of energy consumption of the sensor node is high. Sensor nodes are close to the sink so it consumes more energy as they have to collect the sensed data and send it to the Server. If these sensor nodes fail, then the other nodes can’t reach the data sink. So to overcome that problem we used M-collector. The Mcollector has a powerful transmitter, receiver and battery. It works like a mobile base station and collecting data while moving in the field. It starts the collecting information continuously from the sensor, finally transports the data
to the server. Our mobile data-gathering scheme improves the scalability and solves intrinsic problems. M-collector will separate each zone that will reduce the network faults. This method improves compatibility and assures that energy consumption among sensors is homogeneous.

Keywords: Mobile data collector, wireless sensor network (WSN).
