Connected technology for next-gen plant complexes.

Delivering Integrated, turn-key network solutions for connected industrial and petrochemical facilities.

TruConnect

Industrial facilities like petrochemical complexes are some of the most challenging environments to provide digital communications and network security. With large, complex units like cracking furnaces and cryogenic equipment, not to mention the surrounding infrastructure, these plants are no friend to the wireless world of Wi-Fi, RF, and the like. Still, for the progressive plant, it is a worthy endeavor, especially considering that the next-gen chemical plants are powered by data, analytics and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) connected technology. With a wealth of experience working in industrial airspace, including plant network design, engineering, and deployment, TruConnect is able to cut through these daunting complexities with a consultative approach and turnkey service that can transform your operations, optimize productivity, and minimize downtime.

WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) transition for industrial companies in power and energy, oil and gas, and manufacturing is driving unprecedented levels of efficiency, productivity, and performance. Industrial wireless networks (IWN) provide a reliable connection for automated systems, allowing users to increase operational flexibility, improve plant visibility, and enhance mobility of employees across large plant settings.

IIoT delivers real-time monitoring of equipment and production, including process monitoring, supervisory control, tank level and pipeline monitoring and Human-Machine Interface (HMI) of both indoor and geographically remote systems.

Robust and secure industrial wireless networks can help:

  • Enhance overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)
  • Support industrial automation and control over wide geographical distances
  • Meet regulatory safety compliance requirements
  • Minimize downtime and wasted deployment of key resources
  • Improve safety

Industrial wireless applications have provided years of reliable communications for monitoring and controlling processes, where using cables is either too costly or impractical. Today, the modernization of industrial networks and integration of Wi-Fi and wired networking services opens up new capabilities, resulting in systems that can monitor, exchange and deliver data from a multitude of devices and sensors connected by communications technologies.
