IIoT Platform.

Wireless asset monitoring solution helps digitise inspection points, reduce manual rounds and improve operational decision-making.

The Emerson Synchros™ Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform has been released. This is a new suite of technologies that expands asset health visibility and improves maintenance decisions through a flexible wireless architecture designed for rapid deployment across existing facilities.

Across many operations, maintaining and tracking assets still depend on periodic manual rounds due to cost and logistical issues. This often leaves gaps where developing issues can go undetected. The Emerson Synchros platform addresses this challenge by providing a more practical and scalable approach to continuous monitoring. Maintenance and operations teams can now digitise inspection points and extend visibility using a flexible wireless architecture built on WirelessHART® technology.

Built for critical process industries – including chemical, oil and gas, power, life sciences and water/wastewater – the Emerson Synchros platform enables organisations to start with high-value monitoring applications and then expand over time using a common platform that works with existing infrastructure.

“Teams have long faced a trade-off between visibility and the cost of instrumenting assets,” said Andrew Kravitz, vice president, cross-portfolio technology and innovation at Emerson. “Synchros devices address these issues by providing end users with a fit-for-purpose method to digitise inspection programmes, expand visibility at scale, and move from periodic checks to continuous insight to drive more efficient and reliable operations.”

The initial release includes the Rosemount™ Synchros Temperature Monitor and the Rosemount Synchros Wireless Repeater, which together provide scalable wireless monitoring capability. The temperature monitor digitises previously manual measurements, while the repeater extends network coverage to enable broader deployment without additional infrastructure.

As the platform evolves, Emerson will introduce additional devices and connectivity options, empowering end users to expand monitoring programmes and advance digital transformation initiatives. New devices will provide measurement for more process parameters, such as pressure and others. Additional connectivity options will accommodate a wider range of applications, such as those with assets distributed across a wide geographical area, like water/wastewater systems and the power grid.

The Rosemount Synchros Temperature Monitor is designed to gather surface and ambient temperature data that can reveal abnormal conditions across assets such as pumps, heat exchangers, rotating equipment, steam systems and heat tracing systems, helping teams investigate issues sooner and make more informed maintenance decisions.

Designed for real-world industrial environments, the Emerson Synchros platform supports deployment in hazardous locations and demanding conditions. Its rugged design and simplified installation features allow organisations to deploy and scale with confidence, while reducing training costs and maintenance complexity.
