These are some possible options IMHO. Please wait for comments - I'm not entirely sure if there's another dedicated term here I am not aware of. Please also provide more context, such as the entire paragraph or information about the type of equipment these sensors belong to.

Steffen Walter
: An "scavenging" hatte ich auch gedacht, es dann aber verworfen (wg. der optischen Sensoren, die zu reinigen/spülen sind). "system" wäre aber kein "Verfahren" (siehe Ausgangssatz), sondern eine Anlage oder Vorrichtung.
