Temperature Transmitters Market Benefits From Increased Energy Efficiency, New Technologies

ARC Advisory Group’s research on the global temperature transmitters market reveals that the need to improve energy efficiency and remove production bottlenecks is driving end users to replace traditional devices with smart and advanced temperature transmitters. The demand for instrumentation is growing as more instruments are required to manage processes with increased energy efficiency, safety, and compliance with stringent environmental regulations. Many improvements in remote diagnostics and field networking technologies are also driving growth in the pressure transmitter market.

Temperature Transmitters Strategic Issues

In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the temperature transmitter market research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.

Match Sensor Type to Application

Temperature transmitter suppliers should be able to recommend the best sensor to match the user’s application. In general, an RTD will give a more accurate, stable temperature measurement than a thermocouple (T/C), provided the somewhat more fragile RTD can withstand the environment. An RTD or T/C output will change due to temperature cycling, temperature swings, corrosion, lead wire degradation, moisture, and contamination. Where possible, use 4-wire RTDs, and specify a temperature transmitter that is able to accept a "true" 4-wire RTD input. The advantage is that the fourth wire in a RTD circuit effectively cancels out errors due to resistance imbalances between the leads. Every ohm of imbalance in an RTD’s lead wires results in as much as a 
2.5°C measurement error.

Understand and Incorporate Industrial IoT

Forward-looking suppliers are investing to bring Industrial IoT to the field device level in the temperature transmitter market. Various Industrial IoT capabilities, such as remote monitoring and remote services, can help establish a more collaborative relationship between end users and suppliers. Industrial IoT solutions are now available for horizontal integration along the value creation chain, for consistent engineering from planning to maintenance, and for vertical integration from the field to the control level. However, Industrial IoT may not be available directly for two-wire devices, due to the high electricity consumption for the transmitter. End users can leverage the expertise of suppliers to help manage plant assets across their entire lifecycle; suppliers can go beyond being just automation providers, enhance their overall project revenues, and enjoy long-term revenue streams through customer service relationships.

Suppliers need to have a well-defined strategy and offerings in place across the value chain. They need to have edge devices Industrial IoT ready, gateways to log and capture data from multiple sources, and cloud to store and analyze data and to deliver meaningful and actionable results to customers.

Leverage Smart Sensors and Field Devices

Users need to focus on leveraging smart field systems to create value in process industries. Smart sensors, as an enabler for Industrial IoT, will play an increasingly important role in process automation in the future. ARC also recommends that users work closely with temperature transmitter suppliers and other stakeholders to better understand how to measure ROI and share best practices for intelligent device management. Users should always seek opportunities to leverage industry standards such as ISA 108 (intelligent device management) to improve their own plants’ operational performance and help promote application of smart field systems and intelligent device management in their respective industries.
