Industrial Wireless Systems Evaluate the Benefits of Industrial Wireless Application Networks
Gaining adequate information about critical plant operations and physical assets from disparate systems and devices, however, may be the barrier to meeting these challenges. In process industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical and power generation, plant management teams today are getting more and better information about critical plant operations through deployment of wireless-enabled applications including:
In order to leverage the information from these disparate and heterogeneous data sources, a common framework is needed – and now available – to manage security, policy and performance of individual wireless point solutions in order to unify them into a common industrial application network. Is your plant a candidate ready for the cost of ownership, security and safety, and performance benefits to be achieved through wireless applications and an industrial application network?
Industrial Wireless Site Plan Today’s processing plants face multiple challenges reaching optimum efficiencies, meeting compliance and standards requirements, and achieving cost-effective performance. The use of wireless technologies available today for a variety of process plant applications – such as monitoring, asset tracking, mobile communications and security – have brought significant benefits to wireless-enabled plants in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical and utilities. Apprion’s team of wireless and networking experts understand the benefits and value of an industrial wireless application network. They hold leadership roles in standard bodies and organizations promoting best practices and lead the efforts to make wireless more cost-effective, usable, manageable, extensible, and secure for processing industries. To best achieve the benefits of an industrial wireless application network, Apprion offers to conduct a wireless site profile and plan to cost-effectively deploy wireless at your plant. Apprion’s Wireless Site Plan includes:
At conclusion of the Wireless Site Plan, you will receive:
 Emerging 40 Vendors: Recognizing innovation in the global manufacturing enterprise Kevin Parker, Manufacturing Business Technology – October 2007 The U.S. manufacturing industries have seized upon the term "innovation" as epitomizing what it takes to survive and thrive in an era of free trade and rapid technological change. Through increased exports, the manufacturing industries today are contributing big time to the health of the U.S. economy. But as supply chains and markets extend globally, goods makers must constantly evaluate their products and processes to stay ahead of the game. Read the Article » Wireless Pioneers Tell All Automation World – October 2007 Here's a look at some of the trials, tribulations and challenges faced by two early end-users of industrial wireless networking technology, along with some lessons learned and benefits gained. There's an old adage about pioneers: They're the ones who take the arrows in their backs. In the best cases, however, the pioneers who successfully dodge the arrows – or even survive a few hits – are the ones who also gain the advantages of being out in front. And when it comes to industrial wireless networking technology, some of today's pioneering end-users believe that their efforts will pay off for their companies in just such a way.
