by Jim Ralston, ProSoft Technology
Mechanical failure of motors, drives and other vital electromechanical equipment are among the most common reasons for production stoppages. Fortunately, recent advancements in vibration monitoring and data analysis have lead to condition monitoring systems that can accurately detect a problem before failure, thus reducing costly machine shutdowns and maximizing production output. Wireless technology: a game-changing technology
Power Engineering International, May 2009
By Mike Ferris, Emerson Process Management
Wireless technology opens up many new measurement points that were previously impossible, or economically feasible. Applying this technology across the whole plant brings enormous gains, but as one may expect, some companies hesitate to try wireless without proof of performance and positive results.

Versatile protocols
South Africa Instrumentation and Control, May 2009
By Jaco Hoogenboezem, SCADAGroup
Distributed network protocol (DNP3) is a protocol that was developed to allow for flexible, secure communications between devices. It works with GPRS wireless communication as delays due to network overloading will not result in any data loss, and the data is buffered in the source device until being accepted by the destination device.

By Gary Enstad & Jim Ralston, Prosoft Technology
While EtherNet/IP has many advantages, cable installation is often expensive, and communications to remote sites or moving platforms may not be reliable or cost-effective. Wireless Ethernet technologies have emerged that can now reliably reduce network costs while improving plant production. Monitor and Control on the Move: The Next Evolution in Factory Automation
By Motorola
When the mobile computer replaces the desktop PC as the information bridge between the machine real-world network and your transactional business systems, you move your operators closer to real time, closer to your machines, and closer to the product that is being manufactured — increasing control over the manufacturing process and overall profitability. Visibility, Enablement, and Process Innovation for a Mobile Workforce
By Wonderware
In a modern plant, the right time to view information is not when you are standing in front of an operator console. It is when you are in the field, in front of a failing piece of equipment or discussing a problem while on the move. More often than not, the right way to deliver information is by putting it in the hands of a mobile worker.
