IT & Automation
network acts as a router for other nearby devices, passing messages along until they reach their destination. If there is an obstruction, transmissions are simply re- routed along the mesh until a clear path to the Smart Wireless Gateway is found. As conditions change or new obstacles are
encountered, such as temporary scaffolding, new equipment, or a parked construction trailer, the self-organising wireless network simply finds a way to deliver the messages.
Redundant communication paths All of this happens automatically, without any involvement by the user, providing redundant communication paths and better reliability than direct, line-of-sight communications between individual devices and their gateway.
Tis technology optimises data reliability while minimising power consumption. It also reduces the effort and infrastructure necessary to set up a successful wireless network. Murach said: “We are now able to monitor more closely the condition of our valuable assets like the feedwater pumps and determine the thermal efficiency of critical equipment. Te newly available information allows us to optimise boiler efficiency and detect problems at their
onset. Tis enables our maintenance personnel to make repairs at the most opportune time rather than waiting until something fails unexpectedly.”
