WHY GO WIRELESS?

Does implementing wireless make more sense for remote monitoring process conditions?

When should wires be replaced with a wireless system or solution?

When an operator faces making the decision of going with a wired or hardwired remote monitoring system versus a wireless remote monitoring system, in today’s world, there is only one clear answer. And the answer is: go wireless. Once cost, time of implementation, safety, feasibility, flexibility, and reliability are factored in and measured, the advantages and benefits of a wireless system heavily outweighs what wire systems can provide to an organization.

Below is a quick digest why one should go wireless for remote monitoring applications or be used for retrofitting an old wired system.

Cost

- Wires are expensive: copper wires have gone up in price. The price of copper in 1994 was less than a $1 per pound. Today, copper trades between $3.50 and $4.50.
- Cost of permitting, transporting machines, digging/trenching, running conduit and wires also have to be factored in.
- Hardwiring also requires the service of an electrician.
- Going wireless eliminates the above costly factors.

Time

- How long will it take to get a permit for trenching?
- How long will it take to implement and install the entire hardwired system?
- Wireless system requires no permitting and can be installed in less than one day.

Safety

- Is it safe to dig? Are there unknown hazards, unknown pipelines underground?
- Wireless is safer since it does not tamper with anything underground.
- Modern wireless equipment meet or exceed Class 1, Division 1 certification requirements and are intrinsically safe and cannot cause an explosion.

Feasibility

- Are there physical challenges to run wires? Climate, rugged terrain, water, mud, rock?
- The beauty of a wireless system is that it goes over-the-air so it can tackle the roughest conditions.
- Wireless is extremely flexible and requires much less time planning and implementing.

Flexibility

- Wireless system can easily be adjusted, fixed, or replaced,
- Wireless system can even move from site to site.

Reliability 

- With wires, there are environmental factors such as lightning hazards (fire), galvanic corrosion, electrolysis, and other debilitating wear and tear on the wiring over time.
- Wires get stolen. Wires get eaten.
- Wires are harder to detect the point of failure.
- Wireless systems that are used in the remote fields today are proving its reliability and accuracy.
- The growing usage of wireless measurement devices and services is staggering:
- 2012 near $1.5 billion vs 2007 0.6 billion (300% growth over 5 years)
- Wireless transmitters and gateways offer robust radio frequency (RF) range so that it can easily be offered as a wire replacement retrofit solution.
- Replaceable battery on a self-contained transmitter provides long life of up to ten (10) year battery life.

Value Propositions for Wireless Sensor Networks

Reduce Costs

OleumTech wireless solutions are helping organizations stay competitive. In an effort to reduce cost, while improving efficiency and productivity, our wireless automation solutions are designed to help you achieve those exact requirements by helping you incur less materials, engineering, labor, and maintenance costs.

Rapid Implementation

Because there are less obstacles and time needed for deployment, data collection comes on almost instantly when deploying wireless sensor and I/O networks. Wireless systems eliminate trenching, running conduit, and drastically reduce engineering time and cost allowing you to go from design to full deployment in a very short period of time.

Improve Quality and Safety

Replacing manual readings with an automated system provides data that is more timely, accurate, and reliable. More importantly, wireless automation systems reduce hazardous exposure to human beings and also helps reduce accidents while providing 24/7, around-the-clock, near real-time monitoring.

Robust, Reliable, and Secure

By delivering wireless sensor networks that are robust, reliable, and secure, it empowers operators such as yourself to solely focus your efforts on optimization and making better decisions using collected data rather than getting bogged down dealing with connectivity issues.

Environmental Compliance

OleumTech wireless instruments help meet green initiatives and regulatory requirements. Our products, such as wireless level switches and exception reporting devices, prevent costly spills and monitor emissions to protect the environment thereby avoiding costly fines.

Highly Scalable and Flexible

The OleumTech wireless solutions systems can be fully integrated with virtually any existing SCADA or IoT cloud computing systems. Designed to grow with businesses of any size, OleumTech wireless solutions are truly capable of meeting the challenges of today’s complex data infrastructures.
