Choosing the right bus
Because different network technologies have different capabilities, choosing the right bus (or buses) for your operation can help minimize project cost and maximize operational benefits. These courses will help you make the right choice for achieving the higher yield, better quality, and lower operating costs your plant is capable of.

FOUNDATION fieldbus
FOUNDATION fieldbus offers distinct advantages over traditional analog and discrete wiring - at lower total installed cost and lower ongoing costs. It's not any harder to learn or to use than those traditional technologies - just different. These courses can help you understand those differences, and how to put FOUNDATION fieldbus to work for you.

Wireless
Our wireless curriculum provides an introduction to wireless technology, describes how it can help you solve common problems and access information that was previously out of economic and technical reach, and delivers practical advice on implementing a wireless solution.
Improving Production with Wireless

Wireless technologies can make to dramatic improvements to production. Wireless facilitates temporary and additional measurements that can change your approach to performance measurement and monitoring, bringing about significant improvements in productivity, yield and availability.Wireless technologies can also positively impact energy efficiency and personnel productivity.
More Reliability and Less Maintenance with Wireless

Wireless technologies can reduce the frequency and severity of unplanned equipment failures; enable you to move away from reactive or periodic practices to predictive maintenance. Wireless enables you to properly understand the condition of field and process equipment in real-time. This means that you only take equipment out of service if and when it is really necessary, and because problems are identified early and accurately, the duration of any maintenance outage is minimized. Not only does this improve production rates, it also has a very significant impact on maintenance productivity.
Wireless in Projects - A Faster, Cheaper, Manageable Infrastructure

Wireless technologies have the potential to bring alignment between project organizations, with their emphasis on risk, cost and time, and the on-going systems and I/E engineering functions who are more concerned with consistency, sustainability and supportability. The wireless calculator demonstrates the real impact that wireless technology can have at every stage of the project process. By being entirely self-interested, projects organizations will create an infrastructure that answers many of the challenges faced by systems managers and instrument engineers.
Doing More with Less with Wireless

This webinar focuses on the challenge that all producers face to do more with less. Following a brief introduction to wireless technology, we indentify several areas where wireless enables production, operations, maintenance and projects functions to take a fundamentally different approach which will have a significant and immediate impact on business performance. This will be demonstrated with world class wireless reference applications. The challenge of enabling safer operations while at the same time making them leaner is an area of particular focus
