Wireless communication ensures interoperability for plant operations


solutions has achieved enterprise mobility validation through Motorola’s enterprise mobility validated solution programme.


A Invensys Operations Management’s Wonderware


IntelaTrac is a mobile workforce and decision support system. Featuring configurable software and ruggedised mobile hardware, it enables better workflow, procedural and general task management focused on plant operations, maintenance management, production tracking and compliance applications (Fig. 1).


The mobile component of the IntelaTrac application can operate with a wide variety of hardware from Motorola, which is available through the Wonderware brand as a part of a customer’s purchase of the system. These products include the MC55 and MC70 enterprise digital assistants (EDAs) and MC9090 family of mobile computers. “Being awarded the Motorola enterprise mobility


validation is a significant achievement because it assures Invensys customers and partners of system interoperability between Motorola devices and our IntelaTrac applications,” said Jim Frider, mobile solutions marketing manager, Invensys Operations Management. “This will lead to faster solution deployment, lower cost of ownership and higher end- user satisfaction. There’s no doubt that our success has been greatly accelerated due to our relationship with Motorola, which has helped us deliver the mobility solutions our customers are demanding.” Motorola’s enterprise mobility validated solutions programme enables partners to test and validate their mobility solutions on Motorola products to help ensure interoperability and meet the application- specific needs of customers, as well as reduce risk and time to deployment. Invensys Operations Management successfully achieved validation by completing Motorola’s programme - including joint testing at the Motorola Solution Centre located in Holtsville, New York. The IntelaTrac solution is now permitted to use the Motorola enterprise mobility validated software logo, designation which will help assure customers and partners of system interoperability between Motorola devices and IntelaTrac applications.

Motorola’s programme offers eligible PartnerSelect programme members the opportunity to co-validate the interoperability of their software solutions with Motorola EMS mobile computers, scanners, RFID devices, payment systems, wireless infrastructure and mobility management software. This programme supports PartnerSelect members through faster time to market and reduced development costs. It also provides benefits that can be sold to end-user customers, including: streamlined solution evaluation; increased confidence in a solution’s performance; and accelerated solution deployment.


Facilitated through the Global Solution Centers, a state-of-the-art testing facility, partners work side- by-side with Motorola engineers to co-validate their software solution’s intended functionality under common customer usage scenarios.


Other partners who have successfully completed the validation include: Sky Technologies, Portable
