Kinetic mesh: Wireless networks groomed in the most rugged environments
Traditional ways of network routing work just fine in a stable environment. But in rugged, dynamic environments, kinetic mesh is increasingly effective where infrastructure devices are constantly on the move. Also see an explanation of how kinetic mesh can be used in oil and gas applications.
Maintaining power in remote locations
UPS systems ensure reliable power for oil and gas applications.
Control virtualization in an era of software-defined machines
The promise of the industrial Internet is to bring the strength of monitoring and analytics in the cloud to day-to-day decision-making via machines powered by embedded control systems—software-defined machines. Internet of Things (IoT) connects machines to machines, machines to people, and machines/people to the cloud with an expectation of a continuously improving experience.
