New member for wireless body

Flowserve Corporation has joined the ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute (ISA100 WCI) as a supplier member. 

“With ISA100-based products in the works at Flowserve, joining the ISA100 WCI gives us access to a technical and user ecosystem that enables us to accelerate our ISA100.11a product offerings,” said Scott Wilkerson, senior product portfolio manager of Flowserve Corporation. “Our solutions help customers move, control and protect the flow of materials in critical industries worldwide. We look forward to offering our customers products based on the global ISA100.11a wireless standard.”

“As one of the world’s largest manufacturers of pumps, valves, seals and other components, Flowserve brings another product category into the ISA100.11a-based offerings,” said Andre Ristaino, managing director of ISA100 WCI. “Flowserve’s applications are supported across key industrial sectors, including oil, gas, chemical, power generation and water resources. We look forward to working with Flowserve.”

Recently, ISA100 WCI announced the success of its Wireless Plugfest—a structured program conducted periodically to confirm interoperability of wireless products certified to the open ISA100.11a standard. Hosted by National Technical Services(NTS), a US based independent third-party engineering, testing and certification company, test engineers successfully demonstrated interoperability of ISA100.11a-based field devices, provisioning devices, and gateways—confirming the technical capability, openness, ease of use and interoperability capabilities demanded by ISA100.11a users.
