Talk of wireless instrumentation and wireless applications is all around us. But, practically speaking, how do we, as engineering professionals, "break the ice" with our operating units on installing wireless devices in the plant? Once we have determined that wireless is a viable option for an application, how can we help our organizations take the first step into the "world of wireless" with the minimum risk?
This course will help the engineer to answer those questions by analyzing several case studies in applying wireless instrumentation and systems into the industrial plant setting. The ideas and concepts presented in this course should give the reader the basic principals of wireless instrumentation, when wireless is a viable option and when it isn't, a framework for installing a wireless system in their facility, and guidelines as to what works and what does not work.
