Industrial networking solution combines
Emerson’s expertise in industrial automation and applications with
Cisco’s innovations in networking, cybersecurity and IT
infrastructure
Emerson (NYSE: EMR) is partnering with Cisco to
introduce a next-generation industrial wireless networking solution
that fundamentally transforms data management to improve plant
productivity, reliability and safety. The new Emerson Wireless
1410S Gateway with the Cisco Catalyst® IW6300 Heavy Duty Series
Access Point combines the latest in wireless technology with
advanced WirelessHART® sensor technology, delivering reliable and
highly secure data, even in the harshest industrial
environments.
To help enable new digital transformation strategies, this
industrial networking solution combines Emerson’s expertise in
industrial automation and applications with Cisco’s innovations in
networking, cybersecurity and IT infrastructure. Driven by the
demand for greater productivity, lower maintenance costs and
improved worker safety, industrial manufacturers are accelerating
investment in robust IoT sensor networks combined with scalable
operational analytics tools to improve organizational collaboration
and decision making. In these environments, network performance and
security are critical for success.
“A secure connection that scales easily is the foundation for
every successful IoT deployment,” said Liz Centoni, senior vice
president and general manager, IoT at Cisco. “By using the power of
the intent-based network, Cisco provides a secure, automated, rock
solid infrastructure helping IT and operational teams work together
to reduce complexity and improve safety.”
This next-gen wireless access point provides enhanced wi-fi
bandwidth necessary for real-time safety monitoring, including
Emerson’s Location Awareness and wireless video. These applications
enhance personnel safety practices, improve plant security and help
ensure environmental compliance. A reliable and fast connection
between devices and people streamlines decision making by providing
real-time analytics. It also enables a mobile workforce to
virtually come together, collaborate and resolve critical issues in
a timely manner.
“Products installed in industrial plants need to last for years,
even decades,” said Bob Karschnia, vice president of wireless at
Emerson. “This kind of longevity was a critical design and
engineering requirement to ensure this new wireless access point
was future-proofed to meet a rapidly evolving technology
landscape.”
Industrial environments remain some of the most challenging and
hazardous environments in the world, requiring a scalable,
resilient and flexible wi-fi solution that can withstand extreme
conditions in remote locations while helping ensure the safety of
workers on site. The new wireless access point supports mobile
applications that offer instant access to process control data,
maintenance information and operation procedures, enabling improved
plant productivity and worker safety.
