Invensys announced the seven new asset performance solutions, which will allow manufacturers to enhance wireless expertise for monitoring, securing, and tracking assets. Invensys’ Performance Services group has made the announcement for manufacturers.
Invensys will conduct an assessment, design, implementation, and work with technology partners to deliver the solution for manufacturers, who are looking to implement any of the wireless-enabled applications from plant floor condition monitoring and mobile workforce enablement to asset tracking and physical security. Additionally, the company is working with “portfolio of technology providers,” to gather feedback from customers. The new seven asset solutions are following:
1) Mobile workforce: It hasmobile workforce for field-based employees who need secure roaming access to real-time control systems, enterprise applications, documents, and other information via wireless handheld devices.
2) Field Data Logging: It allows workers upload device and equipment status and diagnostic data to maintenance systems from the field.
3) Condition Monitoring: The condition monitoring delivers incremental measurements (on tank levels, temperatures, pH, vibration, etc.) from remote sensors via a wireless connection. This real-time data can support an effective model-based predictive maintenance strategy. Officials noted that such a solution can integrate with Invensys’ InFusion Condition Manager, Avantis EAM, and third-party computerized maintenance management programs.
4) Asset Tracking: It has asset tracking, which uses RFID technology to provide accurate identification and location of fixed and rolling assets with optional visualization on a handheld device.
5) Physical Security: It allows for the implementation of any combination of mobile video, fixed surveillance cameras (with or without access controls), intrusion detectors, and proximity sensors to extend the reach of physical security throughout a single building, plant, entire complex, or even a series of complexes.
6) Personnel Safety: It enables manufacturers to identify the physical location of personnel in real time, notify first responders of safety shower activation, provide “man-down” notification for emergency services, and trigger remote evacuation alarming.
7) Communications: It covers secure integration of multiple wireless technologies (including both VoIP and high-speed backhaul communications) to connect people, facilities, and systems.
