How does your facility compare with industry benchmarks?

One year ago, Apprion and Control Magazine began a series of surveys designed to gain insight into the state of wireless application adoption within the process manufacturing industries. Over 1200 respondents representing the full spectrum of process manufacturers participated in eight separate surveys that looked at issues regarding wireless adoption and specific application areas. We'd like to share these results with you. Here are some of the key findings:

• This last year saw a 23% increase in wireless adoption and an 85% increase in those currently considering wireless applications
• Condition Monitoring/Asset Management applications lead wireless adoption in 2009 with an increase of 56%
• Video, Communications, and Mobility are the applications driving the next wave of adoption

Environmental Effects on Wireless: Electromagnetic Interference Caused by Machinery, Power Distribution or other Nearby Transponders

Most industrial facilities have various types of electrical machinery, power distribution facilities, sensors and radio transponders within the geographic environment. These systems and devices emit, as an interference, electromagnetic waves. Understanding, locating, identifying, and compensating for electromagnetic interferers is a key element of a successful wireless infrastructure.

In the process of distributing wireless to a geographic area, it is often necessary to place transceivers out of doors. In doing so a prudent designer understands that he cannot afford to overlook the effects of the environment on the life of the equipment and the performance of the wireless system.
