‘Wireless Sensor’
A Processingtalk guide
Start with the news release
ABB's Orimaster flowmeter cuts installation costs from
ABB Automation Tech (Instrumentation + Automation), which we summarised at the time by saying "The cost of installing orifice plate flowmeters has been cut by up to 40 per cent with the launch of ABB's Orimaster compact orifice DP flowmeter.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Dew-point hygrometer connects wirelessly to PC from
Michell Instruments: "Michell Instruments' MDM300 advanced dew-point hygrometer can accurately measure dew points as low as -70C in less than 10 minutes.".
In July 2009, we covered the news from Emerson Process Management
- take a look at Emerson expands asset management software
which says: "Emerson Process Management has announced the release of AMS Suite: Machinery Health Manager 5.3, which is part of its asset management software. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Emerson Process Management, OCX8800 supports Foundation fieldbus communication,
as well as Emerson announces wireless technology webinars from Emerson Process Management,
and Audon Electronics introduces D-Series data loggers from Audon Electronics.
