— OIL, GAS AND CHEMICALS CASE STUDY ABB AWIN GW100 WirelessHART Gateway Demonstrating the value of wireless sensor networks in process control Situation and project background There is a substantial gap in the scientific knowledge related to the adoption and use of wireless networks in process control applications. Most of the existing knowledge base for wireless sensor networks activity is centered around non-critical systems and non- critical applications (such as condition monitoring). The aim of this project was to investigate the value and suitability of wireless technology in more critical applications, such as process control. To advance the science surrounding smarter sensor- based systems, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)-funded project
