艾默生和思科进行无线解决方案合作

Austin, Texas, September 11, 2007 - Emerson Process Management is collaborating with Cisco to offer open-standard solutions for wireless process and plant management applications that install easily and operate reliably in the challenging process manufacturing environment.

奥斯汀9月11日消息——艾默生过程管理正与思科展开合作，为充满挑战的过程制造环境提供安装容易、运作可靠的无线过程和工厂管理应用的开放标准解决方案。

Emerson and Cisco are combining their expertise and technology to deliver a complete solution that improves productivity, safety, and operational efficiency for manufacturing customers.

艾默生和思科正在结合他们的专家力量和技术，为制造业客户提供一个完整的可以改善生产力、安全性以及操作效率的解决方案。

Emerson's wireless process applications use self-organizing field networks for increased monitoring of plant data for control and asset optimization; they also offer mobile operator and maintenance worker applications. Cisco wireless plant networks offer applications including those for worker mobility, voice over IP communications, tracking of personnel and assets, and video applications.

艾默生的无线过程应用使用自我组织的现场网络，用于更好地监测控制和资产优化的工厂数据；他们还提供移动操作员和维护工人应用。思科无线工厂网络提供的应用包括这些用于工人移动性、基于IP的语音通信、跟踪工作人员和资产以及视频应用。

"Since introducing Smart Wireless field networks a year ago, we've been excited at the high customer interest and their quickly realized business results," said John Berra, president of Emerson Process Management. "We are pleased to be working with Cisco to extend our offering to include wireless plant network solutions with the security and reliability required in the process environment. The combined field and plant communications platform supports current and future applications that help enable faster and more effective business management over the life of the plant. Additionally, Cisco's commitment to open standards makes it an ideal partner for Emerson and our customers."

艾默生过程管理总裁John Berra表示：“自从一年前推出只能无线现场网络以来，对于客户的高度关注以及他们迅速实现业务成果，我们感到很兴奋。我们很高兴和思科一起，致力于扩大我们的供应范围，使其包括具有在过程环境需要的安全性和可靠性的无线工厂网络解决方案。现场和工厂联合通信平台支持当前和未来的的应用，帮助工厂整个生命期间获得更快和更有效率的业务管理。此外，思科对开放式标准的承诺使得其成为艾默生和我们客户的理想合作伙伴。“

"Networks and mobility are dramatically transforming our customers businesses and in-plant processes," said Maciej Kranz, vice president of product marketing for Wireless Business Unit for Cisco. "By delivering a combined wireless architecture from Emerson and Cisco, we are enabling our manufacturing process customers to deploy flexible, scalable and safe wireless solutions and mobility applications in rugged plant environments."

思科无线业务部产品营销副总裁Maciej Kranz表示：”网络和移动性大大改变了我们客户的业务和工厂流程。通过提供艾默生和思科的综合无线架构，我们正在使我们制造业过程客户可以在较差的工厂环境里部署灵活、可升级和安全的无线解决方案和移动性应用。“

Emerson and Cisco have developed a services plan to design, specify, install and support wireless solutions for customers worldwide. These customized solutions will provide end users with a competitive edge through open-standards wireless technology and a complete network platform that ensures they can start with any application and easily expand as the technology evolves.

艾默生与思科发展了一项服务计划，为全球客户设计、指定、安装和支持无线解决方案。这些定制的解决方案将通过开放标准的无线技术和完整的网络平台，为终端用户提供竞争优势，以确保他们随着技术的演进可以开始任何应用以及易于扩充。

Emerson's wireless platform will extend the Smart Wireless capabilities of PlantWeb digital plant architecture to include wireless plant networks. The networks use the Cisco Unified Wireless Architecture, offering including industrial-class wireless access points, controllers and network management software, and plant applications such as communication, tracking and worker mobility tools.

艾默生的无线平台将扩充PlantWeb数字工厂架构的智能无线能力，使其包括无线工厂网络。这些网络使用”思科统一无线架构“，提供了包括工业级的无线访问点、控制器和网络管理软件，以及通信、追踪和工人移动性工具等工厂应用。

Emerson will use the Cisco Unified Wireless Architecture to provide ubiquitous, highly secure wireless LAN coverage and integration within the plant's existing IT infrastructure; this integration eliminates the need for a complex wireless overlay network. Cisco's Wireless Control System will centralize the configuration and management of the plant's Wi-Fi network, reducing overall cost of ownership.

艾默生将使用”思科统一无线架构“，提供无所不在的、高度安全的无线局域网覆盖范围以及工厂现有IT基础架构的整合，这整合不需要复杂的无线覆盖网络。思科的无线控制系统将集中配置和管理工厂的Wi-Fi网络，减少总体拥有成本。

"We envision that the open-standard wireless infrastructure and applications jointly architected with Cisco will simplify the implementation of value-added wireless automation projects and reduce risk," summarized Berra. "The age of wireless will be advanced as process and IT improvements are smoothly integrated, and the canyons of steel and limits of wiring are removed as obstacles to the imagination of customers."

Berra总结道：“我们设想，与思科共同构架的开放标准的无线基础设施和应用将简化增值无线自动化项目的实施和减低风险。无线的使用年限将是先进的，因为过程和IT改进顺利整合，而钢铁峡谷和布线的局限也作为客户想像的障碍而移除了。”
