In the processing industries, continuous and pervasive condition monitoring is critical for efficient, clean, and safe operations. While nearly all industrial systems are periodically inspected as part of normal procedures and regulatory compliance, not all equipment or areas could be monitored accurately, cost-effectively, or safely on a continuous basis.
Industrial-Grade Wireless
But now you can. Industrial-grade wireless sensors and other devices are specially made to withstand high vibration, extreme temperatures, and other harsh environments. They are also less expensive to deploy than wired sensors, making it possible to instrument more of the plant's equipment. Industrial-grade wireless sensors are proven in processing industries, and are the only practical option in environments that:
- Would destroy physical cabling
- Are too expensive to trench or cable
- Are unsafe or too expensive to monitor manually
Pervasive and Continuous Condition Monitoring
Wireless devices can monitor equipment of all types throughout the plant and measure almost any variable. Wireless devices can also detect real-time events for faster response and time-to-resolution.
