Tata Power's power generation equipment OEMs (M/s BHEL) is required to provide all of the instrumentation and measurement devices for conducting performance guarantee and performance evaluation tests. M/s BHEL faced a number of specific challenges in conducting PG tests: employing high-accuracy digital communications for instrumentation, shortening setup and dismantling time, reducing hardware required, making portable instrument setup, avoiding temporary cabling work and the material waste costs

Tata was facing data accessibility challenges in the cement plant control room tapping signals from remote process control areas and other distant locations, including the gas scrubber. Tata needed a wireless solution to extend its control network securely to remote locations that would also provide seamless communication with existing control applications.

A U.S. power company employed regularly-recurring audits of various controls, systems and programs. However, when it came to a SCADA-based cyber security vulnerability assessment, the in-house audit team did not possess the specific combination of process control experience and cyber security risks. They realized they required a third-party expert with a unique combination of knowledge of the two worlds.

Honeywell ?OneWireless Field Device Access Point (FDAP) is an industrial meshing access point for ISA100 Wireless (IEC 62734) field instruments and rated for use in hazardous plant environments.It uses Honeywell’s intelligent wireless algorithms combination to extend the wireless coverage of field instruments by a factor of 1.5, thereby minimizing the infrastructure required.

Honeywell OneWireless™ Wireless Device Manager (WDM) manages the ISA100 Wireless™ (IEC 62734) field device network and field instrumentation such as Honeywell’s OneWireless XYR™ 6000 transmitters and OneWireless Field Device Access Points, Cisco® Aironet® 1552S Access Points, HART devices, and third-party field devices.Users can add and commission ISA100 Wireless field instruments in less than two minutes without having to do any data mapping or non-value-added engineering due to features such as Experion® CDA and Honeywell Enraf interface, over-the-air firmware upgrades and provisioning, and an intuitive Web-based user interface. ​

Honeywell OneWireless XYR 6000 wireless transmitters break down the barriers to monitoring temperature, pressure, valve position, and other process variables in areas where traditional hard-wired transmitters are too costly, difficult or time consuming to implement.These instruments are designed for industrial applications with no access to power, that are remote or difficult to reach, or where manual readings are typically taken. XYR 6000 transmitters are compliant to the ISA100.11a wireless standard, and communicate on the 2.4 GHz ISM band using a IEEE 802.15.4 radio.

The Linux Foundation today provides tools, training and events to scale any open source project, which together deliver an economic impact not achievable by any one company.The Linux Foundation hosts projects spanning enterprise IT, embedded systems, consumer electronics, cloud, networking, and industry domains. Some projects have been around for decades; others are on the leading edge of technology, such as Hyperledger (blockchain) and Dronecode (unmanned vehicles).

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) is an independent, not-for-profit, standardization organization in the telecommunications industry (equipment makers and network operators) in Europe. ETSI produces globally-applicable standards for Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), including fixed, mobile, radio, converged, broadcast and internet technologies.We have a special role in Europe. This includes supporting European regulations and legislation through the creation of Harmonised European Standards. Only standards developed by the three ESOs (CEN, CENELEC and ETSI) are recognized as European Standards (ENs).We produce different types of standards to meet the different needs of business and society. These needs include:- facilitating trade- enabling economies and efficiencies- achieving interoperability- enhancing consumer protection and confidenceThe progress of innovation requires a balance between collaboration and competition. Standards provide a foundation to achieve this balance and help enable new technologies. We therefore maintain close links with the R&D community and academia and we support the development of new technologies through a variety of mechanisms.

The Global Certification Forum (GCF) is the organisational backbone to GCF Certification. Founded in 1999, the membership driven Forum brings together technical experts from the world's leading Manufacturers, Operators and the Test Industry. Together members define the certification requirements that really work for the industry - because they have been developed by the industry.Any device incorporating cellular mobile connectivity can be certified:- Featurephones and Smartphones- Tablets- USB Modems- Portable WiFi Hotspots- Embedded Modules- Laptops- Connected Consumer and M2M/IoT devicesThe GCF scheme evolves in sync with developments in mobile technologies and the changing needs of the industry. It is the only device certification scheme that cover all these technologies:- LTE (3GPP)- 3G UMTS (3GPP)- GSM (3GPP)- CDMA2000 (3GPP2)GCF members include leading mobile network operators representing all the key markets worldwide, over 70 device manufacturers and other stakeholders such as test system suppliers and test laboratories.GCF's current priorities are to reduce industry costs and improve end-user experience by:- Promoting adoption of GCF certification by the mobile industry in markets where it is not presently used- Promoting GCF Certification for any product that incorporates mobile connectivity- Increasing the use of GCF Certification in its current core markets in Asia Pacific, China, Europe and North America,
