“These measurements tend to be widely distributed in and around the perimeter of a facility or temporary, such as during maintenance activities or work outages/turnarounds,” Control reported. “This makes collecting this information well-suited to wireless data collection systems.”

“Many environmental monitoring systems also tend to send aggregated data as a burst of information periodically rather than continuously, as is done for real-time control systems. That removes the criticality of timing because, if the transmission fails, it can be sent again a few minutes later without any impact to the overall logging functionality of the system.”
