I’m just back from the IDTechEx Wireless Sensor Networking show in Munich. While we were honored to receive the award for the Best Technology Development of WSN/RTLS, the higher honor was to see several of our customers there, boasting of their accomplishments in delivering solutions that are driving efficiencies and savings across a variety of end user applications. GE Energy talked about how their wireless WSim product makes condition monitoring more broadly applicable and allows companies to maintain more of their equipment more efficiently; ABB talked about their growing WirelessHART instrument portfolio and their exploration of a variety of energy harvesting technologies (made possible in part by our ultra-low power wireless network). But I think the highlight of the show for me was when an end user that I met at the same show last year marched up to tell me they have successfully deployed a network of Emerson’s SmartWireless sensors in a nuclear power plant. Last year, he approached me after my presentation skeptical of my claims that WirelessHART WSN’s could match the reliability and ease of use I was claiming. What a difference a year makes…
