Frost and Sullivan announce wireless workshop

Frost and Sullivan will be hosting a one-day event on the Adoption of Wireless Solution in Industrial Automation on Thursday, 5 February 2009, at Moevenpick Hotel, Frankfurt City, Germany.

Wireless devices are making an entry into the industrial environment with benefits such as flexibility, cabling cost reduction and extending measurements to critical information.

However, the rate of adoption has been slow due to challenges and concerns among end users, namely reliability, security and safety.

Frost and Sullivan's one-day workshop will focus on the conditions and issues that end users of wireless communications systems and products in both process and in discrete industries will encounter.

The workshop will discuss critical issues identified in Frost and Sullivan's recent pan-European survey on Wireless Devices in Process Industries and Wireless Devices in Factory Automation.

The workshop will also discuss how vendor's offerings to fulfill the end users needs can and should provide improved solutions.

Each of the three main themes, safety, security and reliability, will comprise of a series of presentations and a panel discussion from market specialists and various industry participants such as vendors, integrators and end users.

Alongside representatives from Frost and Sullivan, the workshop will see a strong line up of industry speakers including experts from ABB, Emerson Process Management, Laird Technologies and Statoilhydro.
