Recent research by ARC Advisory Group makes it evident that wireless technology has proven itself in consumer, commercial, and demanding industrial applications. The benefits of implementing wireless transmitters in challenging plant and remote environments are well documented. Objections to wireless - such as the lack of a single wireless standard, battery life and security concerns - have moderated significantly, and adoption of wireless infrastructure and instrumentation is now commonplace in both the plant and field.
“Despite the conservative, risk-averse mindset that pervades the process industries, users have shaken off their concerns about implementing wireless in their plants, usually centered around limited battery life and cybersecurity, opting to harness the operational benefits that wireless affords. This is particularly true for condition monitoring applications. Wireless offers low cost, easy installation, allowing the addition of process measurement points that would not have been feasible in the past, giving users better data access to improve process efficiency, safety and regulatory compliance,” according to Allen Avery, Senior Analyst and key author of ARC's Wireless Devices in Process Manufacturing Market Research.
