Wireless is implemented by many organizations because it is less expensive to install and maintain than wired I/O (input/output). Wireless is especially attractive to industrial plant operators because it can be installed much more safely and easily. Wireless can be implemented without digging trenches for power and communications cabling, taking equipment offline, or requiring special safety precautions.
Wireless can present significant challenges, however. To meet the specific requirements of the continuous processing industries, Apprion developed the ION System and offers expert professional services. Whether you are generating power, refining petroleum, processing chemicals, or manufacturing any other type of product, Apprion can give you the confidence you need to choose wireless over wired for many applications now and in the years to come.
Wireless for People: Increase Worker Productivity
In complex, hazardous environments, plant operators need assurance that all plant personnel are equipped to handle routine and emergency situations--no matter where they are. Wireless applications can provide real-time information needed for safe and efficient plant operations.
Plants that have implemented wireless for their workers have seen increased productivity and have greater visibility into worker safety. Some of the wireless devices that industrial workers use include hands-free Voice over Wireless IP phones, hand-held computers, and tablet and laptop computers.
The Apprion ION System assures that all devices interoperate securely and reliably, so you can save money and "cut the wires" for a more mobile, productive, and safer workforce. Learn more about Wireless Workforce Mobility.
Wireless for Places: Monitor Hazardous and Hard-to-Reach Locations
Wireless sensors and cameras can be applied in locations where it would be too risky or too expensive to trench and wire or monitor manually. With a common and scalable wireless infrastructure such as Apprion ION System, hazardous and remote locations can be continuously and cost-effectively monitored for safety, security, regulatory compliance, and efficient operations.
Today's industrial wireless devices can be used to track and monitor all types of metrics, equipment, and events throughout the plant, even in remote, hard-to-reach, and hazardous locations. Learn more about Wireless Condition Monitoring.
Wireless for Things: Optimize Asset Utilization
In the capital-intensive processing industries, the difference between profit and loss depends largely on operational efficiencies. To extend the usable life of expensive machinery, and to reduce energy consumption, plant operators regularly monitor equipment performance/degradation.
Several vendors now offer long-lifespan, industrial-grade wireless sensors that withstand high vibration, extreme temperature, and other harsh environments. These industrial-grade wireless devices are more accurate than manual inspections and often more cost-effective than wired. This means that more of your plant's equipment can be continuously monitored for optimal efficiencies. Learn more about Wireless Condition Monitoring.
