Wireless-enabled enterprise solutions

Invensys Process Systems has announced seven new wireless-enabled solutions and expanded global network implementation and support capabilities. These wireless-enabled solutions can be deployed at both the plant and enterprise levels to help improve overall industrial asset performance management.

Since introducing its managed network approach to industrial wireless technology in 2005, Invensys has been working with customers to define and implement the specific applications where wireless technology can provide the most value. In doing so, care has been taken to consider not just the initial cost savings and long-term benefits that wireless-enabled solutions can deliver, but also the potentially support costs of wireless vs wired networks, and how these support costs can be minimised through up-front engineering and long-term network monitoring and optimisation services.

Invensys' portfolio of wireless-enabled asset performance management solutions is both vendor-independent and standards-agnostic. The solutions can operate in conjunction with most vendors’ products, systems or software applications, using the most appropriate wireless standards available. Solutions are provided for mobile workforce access to control systems and documentation, field data logging and condition monitoring, asset tracking, physical security and personnel location and safety.
