• The challenge: Sending a special person to measure the differential pressures and sending report in 200 points in the factory, is very in-efficient. Also interference the production procedure is prohibited. Wiring is out of question.

• Requirement: Data acquisition wireless based system that should control and alert 200 different points in the factory and must be integrated with the main SCADA of the factory.

• Solution: Based on our SmartNext™, Special pressure transmitters (for low differential pressure) were connected to 4-20mA wireless transducers. Some were connected to the Control Panels directly and some via Repeaters (due to lot of electrical noises). The Control Panels transmit the information to the SCADA system.

Temperature Measurement in Wagons in Motion

• The challenge: Any frozen food manufacturer that uses industrial motion freezer for the production process, has the problem of efficient control the required temperature.

• Requirement: To have a current control of the temperature of the food (dough) in the motion freezer, in order to move it to a permanent freezer (when reach the required temperature).

• Solution: A special probe of Pt100 is inserted into the freezer. This sensor was connected also the a wireless transducer. When it

reaches the temperature, the wireless sensor (Wireless RTD transducer with Pt100) transmits the info, via the Control Panel, to the SCADA.

Measuring Temperature in Grains / Food Piles

• The challenge : Keeping a permanent temperature in compost / grain piles is very difficult, as it is very danger to send a person to measure it.

• Requirement: Wireless reporting of temperature in Compost / Pet food / Grains piles.

• Solution: SmartNext™ is the perfect solution for this application. The information is transmitted to the data acquisition system and the customer has a full reliable control. A special probe was produces to fulfill the requirements of the area (comes with Pt100 that is connected to the wireless transducer). These wireless probes are inserted into the piles and report to the Data Acquisition software via the Control Panel.

Millivolts Measurement for Cathode Protection

• The challenge : In all seawater desalination plants, there is similar problem: cathode digesting in the metal pipes.

• Requirement: Since there are many sensors, there is a need to protect the sensors and continue to use them. Wiring the plants is forbidden. • Solution: Based on SmartNext™: with special modification, the wireless transducer acts as “voltmeter” in the range of 0-2V. As a results, a new wireless transducer had been added in order to protect against the cathode digesting and still using the existing sensors in the plant. The system was installed in one of the largest sea water desalinations in the world.

Temperature & Humidity Measurements in Pharma Warehouses

• The challenge : There are many large Pharmaceutical warehouses that are not wired. Since current monitoring of temperature and humidity is

required, it is not efficient to do it manual.

• Requirement: To have efficient and cost effective current temperature & humidity monitoring and report it to the main HMI.

• Solution: With SmartNext™ system, we reduced dramatically the

infrastructure cost and saved lot of installation time. We installed Temperature & Humidity transmitters to the 4-20mA Wireless Transducers that transmit the information via the control panel,

to the main HMI. In these cases, each installation took about on working day. We installed the systems at Teva and some other pharmaceutical manufacturers.
