Industrial facilities are constantly striving to achieve safer operations while minimizing operational and capital expenditures. Many ends users are turning to industrial wireless IoT technologies to swiftly solve this dilemma. In this webinar, we will discuss the advantages of wireless solutions over traditional wired solutions. In particular, we will focus on the benefits that the non-proprietary WirelessHART (IEC62591) standards protocol can bring to the end user, and how it stands out amongst other Industrial IoT wireless protocols. The presentation will also include a case study related to WirelessHART gas detection, an emerging application for open wireless protocols that is being deployed across diverse industries. As part of the case study, a detailed cost comparison of deploying WirelessHART gas detection over a wired approach will be discussed. Participants can expect to learn several best practices on how to deploy a WirelessHART gas detection network as well.
