Technical literature on the market today seems to position custom design and engineering as a pesky part of the wireless process that is better avoided. We believe the opposite is true. Customizing each wireless implementation for each client’s exact and particular needs is the basis of FEDD’s success over the years.
In planning a wireless implementation there are fixed issues and variable issues. In any given plant, the field instruments (where they are, how many there are, what they monitor, etc.) is fixed. The control room (where it is in the plant) is fixed. Thus the key variable - and key factor for success - is how to build and design the most effective network of repeaters for optimal signal amplification. The better the network design, the more effective and reliable the wireless data acquisition, transmission and integration system will be. FEDD has years of experience in building effective repeater networks.
As complex as this might be in some facilities, it's not even what gets our engineers excited. Our value really shines through when we develop logic for our wireless systems, such as a parameter from one field device needing to interact with another field device to perform an automated task. That's the fun part for FEDD. And of course, all these automated tasks are recorded and sent back to the control room for assurance without a physical inspection.
If you think this opens up some doors, you are right. When we meet with prospective clients and explain our process and all the possibilities, it's as if light bulbs are going off in their heads. Their data collection and integration needs that seemed too costly or downright impossible are now within reach. They no longer have to think of how they would hardwire it, how to get power to it, how many nodes are left on the PLC ... they simple tell us what they need, and we make it happen. And you can, too - send us a quote request now.
