At the heart of Emerson’s Smart Wireless approach is the Self-Organizing (mesh) network. Secure, infinitely configurable, with data reliability of greater than 99%, Emerson’s self-organizing network ensures an adaptive, flexible approach to wireless that defies the “canyons of metal” which define most plants.

Unlike many approaches to in-plant wireless which require direct line-of-sight between the instrument and the communications gateway, Emerson’s Smart Wireless approach ensures the greatest network integrity by allowing devices to communicate with each other. This means there is no single point of failure, every device serves as a network connector.

Emerson’s Smart Wireless approach in real-world customer trials delivers greater than 99% data reliability, consistently. This is primarily enabled by the self-organizing nature of the technology platform. In the event a temporary obstruction blocks a direct connection, the network automatically reroutes the signal to an adjacent device, ensuring network reliability and data integrity.
