Economic Return Economic Return = Lifecycle Benefits - Lifecycle Costs + Cost of system + Initial engineering costs + Installation costs + Annual operation costs + Annual maintenance costs = Lifecycle Costs + Higher productivity + Annual manufacturing cost savings + Improved safety & reliability + Improved energy efficiency + Lower labor costs = Lifecycle Benefits Wired  Wireless 10% Application Value 70% $ ROI 20%

Promise of Wireless Wireless technology and wireless networking systems hold great promise for the industrial market. Use energy and materials more efficiently Improve safety and compliance Lower systems and infrastructure costs Process Monitoring Energy Management Validation

Industrial Process Monitoring Smart field devices deliver comprehensive insight into plant processes Detect process and equipment issues Achieve more efficient operations Maximize plant reliability Maintain safe work environments

Energy Management Temperature monitoring and control of critical datacenter infrastructure Maintain optimum computing performance Avoid costly downtime Reduce energy expenditures

Pharmaceutical Validation and Monitoring Validation and monitoring of critical pharmaceutical processes Ensure Regulatory Compliance Highly Reliable, Secure Data Transmission Easy to Install and Use

Wire-like Reliability, Wireless Economics Low power, highly reliable mesh technology proven in harsh environments Nodes connected in a seamless, reliable and self-forming mesh network Nodes automatically adjust to dynamic RF environment, such as blocked signals Interference from other RF sources avoided through frequency hopping Ultra low power devices yields years of battery life
