Emerson Talks Wireless At Annual User Group Event

摘要

Emerson Process Management used its annual Global Users Exchange in late September- during which 2,500 attendees gathered at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in Washington, D.C.-to extol the virtues of wireless technology, both within the plant and in the enterprise at large. At a press conference at the start of the event, six Emerson customers described how the company's wireless products have made a positive contribution to their operations. Panel member Natalia Kroutikova, technology leader at oil and gas giant BP, said her company is using Emerson's Rosemount wireless transmitters to monitor suction, discharge pressures, levels, flow, and temperatures throughout a tank farm at its R&D technology center in Naperville, IL BP has also expanded its deployment of wireless transmitters and installed an Emerson Smart Wireless gateway at its Cherry Point, WA, refining facility, the site in 2006 of the first industrial wireless mesh network field trial.
