Plant Closures. Cancelled Orders. Staff Downsizing. Contracting Markets.
The Cement Industry faces a mix of challenges that even the experts are hard-pressed to solve.
Every facility is driven to eliminate unnecessary costs and waste and the harsh environment requires
ruggedized equipment suitable for machine health/condition monitoring.
Wireless for the Cement Industry
Wireless is the answer for cement plants. It is proven that wireless provides essential functionality such
as remote access for maintenance operators, network connectivity between plant locations, and rotary
kiln monitoring at a fraction of the cost of wireless. In addition, wireless cost-efficiently addresses key
issues for plant operations: energy efficiency, safety, security, environmental concerns and regulatory mandates.
