艾默生的易安裝可自行組織的無線網絡為運行和維護人員提供新信息，幫助提高質量和產量 德州奧斯汀（2007年9月10日），艾默生過程管理公司當日宣布一些高成功率的智能無線解決方案將用于總部位于西弗吉尼亞Wheeling的Wheeling-Pittsburgh鋼鐵公司，該公司主要生產用于建筑、集裝箱、器械、轉換器、鋼鐵產品和自動化市場的軋碳鋼板。簡易安裝的無線傳送器可以傳送先前傳達不到的數據，如在Mingo 接頭的80英寸的熱帶鋼軋機中傳輸數據，提高了產品質量和產量。 艾默生的智能無線網絡既可以在熱帶鋼軋機的粗糙部分操作，也可以在精加工部分實現可靠操作，在那里傳送器只需要很少的人才和時間進行安裝就可以操作了。該創新的自組織網絡可以自動地適應儀器的安裝點和移動點，所以自從最初的安裝被證明是有效的，安裝更多的傳送器也變得很普通。傳送的信號由信號網關接收，直接傳送給Pi數據記事器，用于判斷趨勢和報警。因此，操作者可以連續地訪問他們正在使用和維護的數據。 Wheeling-Pittsburgh鋼鐵公司運營經理Gary Borham說：“我們為正在為越來越多的機遇和應用創建基礎。無線傳送器可以被安裝在離網關很遠的地方，還不會損壞信號。對于軋機信號不能傳送的地方來說這是一個很好的消息。這也可以幫助我們的操作人員防止停工期，滿足用戶對質量的需求優化生產力。” Gary Borham說：“這對于我們來說這是一個極好的解決方案，方便安裝，如果需要又極容易擴展。事實上，我們的過程工程師正在利用由無線流量計提供的數據，這可以幫助我們對我們生產的重型產品進行制冷。利用此解決方案我們可以更快的滿足用戶的需求。” 關于艾默生過程管理 作為艾默生集團的業務之一，艾默生過程管理為工業生產、加工、分銷提供自動化服務，應用在化工、石油天然氣、精煉、紙漿和造紙、能源、食品飲料、醫藥等領域。艾默生過程管理將先進的產品和技術結合在為不同工業而設計的工程、咨詢、項目管理和維護服務中。艾默生過程管理旗下的品牌有：PlantWeb, Micro Motion, Fisher, Rosemount, Mobrey, Daniel, Bristol, DeltaV, Ovation, 以及 AMS 套件。 關于艾默生 總部位于圣路易斯市的艾默生是一家全球領先的公司，該公司將技術與工程相結合，在網絡能源、過程管理、工業自動化、環境優化技術及家電和工具等領域為客戶提供創新性的解決方案。公司在2006 財年的銷售額達201 億美元。更多信息：www.Emerson.com. [FONT=times] original text [/FONT] [font=times] Emerson Smart Wireless technology increases productivity at Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corporation [/font] [font=times] [COLOR=#708090]Emerson‘s easy-to install self-organizing wireless network provides new information for operations and maintenance personnel to use for improving quality and productivity AUSTIN, TEXAS （September 10, 2007） – Emerson Process Management today announced several highly successful applications of its Smart Wireless solution at the Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corporation, headquartered in Wheeling, West Virginia, a major producer of carbon flat rolled products for the construction, container, appliance, converter/processor, steel service center, and automotive markets. Easily installed wireless transmitters are delivering previously unattainable data on conditions in the 80-inch hot strip mill in Mingo Junction, Ohio, enabling operating personnel to improve product quality and increase productivity. Emerson‘s Smart Wireless network is operating reliably in both the roughing and finishing sections of the hot strip mill, where transmitters can be installed and operating in just a few hours with very little manpower. This innovative self-organizing network automatically adapts as device points are added or removed, so installing more transmitters has become common since the initial installation proved to be so effective. The transmitted signals are received through a single gateway and delivered directly to the Pi data historian for trending and alarming. The operators therefore have continuous access to the data which they are using to improve operations and maintenance. According to Gary Borham, operations manager at Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel, "We are building an infrastructure that opens up opportunities for more and more applications. Wireless transmitters are being installed farther and farther away from the gateway without a loss of signal quality. The result is better information from difficult-to-reach areas of the mill, and this is helping our personnel prevent unscheduled downtime, meet customers‘ quality requirements, and optimize productivity." According to Gary Borham, "This is a fantastic solution for us, easy to install, and very easy to expand, if necessary. In fact, our process engineers are using data provided by the wireless flow meters in modeling future control schemes which will enable us make coiling temperature for heavier gauge products that may be introduced in the future. Having that information available in advance and being able to control the water spray accordingly will enable us to quickly meet specifications without rejects."
