Smart Wireless Technology Monitors Water Usage at Glaxosmithldine in Ireland

摘要

Emerson Process Management's Smart Wireless technology is enabling GlaxoSmithKline to monitor water usage at its Cork plant in Ireland. Installation of RosemountR wireless flow and pressure transmitters on two new storage tanks has provided an opportunity to better understand water usage throughout the plant, to trial the wireless technology, and to create a network for cost-effectively adding new process instrumentation in the future. "GlaxoSmithKline is continuously looking to improve plant performance by increasing the number of parameters measured," explained Emmett Martin, Site Services & Automation Manager, GlaxoSmithKline. "Water is a considerable overhead to the plant so it is important that we monitor flow rates to manage consumption, and to help identify any usage trends."
