Over the past seven years, industrial users have seen enormous changes in the way remote devices share information in the manufacturing environment. While moving data from Point A to Point B has been almost exclusively a wired affair—utilizing RS-232, RS-485 and proprietary protocols, among others—today we are seeing wireless networks gaining traction in the industrial space.
In this free one-hour Web seminar, wireless networking experts discussed how digitally enabled devices can be read remotely and ultimately connected over the Internet using a variety of wireless topologies and IP-enabled gateways. Highlighting automatic tank level sensing as a typical example, our speakers addressed how to connect and manage process data from solids, liquids or gases in a wireless application.
View this Web seminar and learn:
- Why wireless technology is becoming more prevalent in the industrial space.
- Which wireless topology is the best for your application.
- How to aggregate wireless sensor, control and automated device data using IP-enabled gateways.
