Manufacturing companies across the world are currently facing growing demand to improve process efficiencies in order to match the expected environmental regulations as well as meet company’s financial targets. In this scenario intelligent and low-cost industrial automation systems are required to improve the productivity and efficiency of such systems. Wireless data transmission in manufacturing and process control automation is gaining importance from both market leaders and medium and small sized companies. 

Successful usage of wireless sensors networks in systems such as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) proves that these devices could effectively address the needs of industrial applications. Major development in sensors industry is the growth of wireless sensors in industrial applications, this is due to the sensors getting smarter, smaller, lighter, and cheaper. Temperature, pressure, level, and flow are the most measured parameters and sensors for these properties are common in the processing world, other wireless sensors such as those for position, proximity, image, and security find large-scale use in manufacturing and process control applications.  The Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks market report forecasts deployment of wireless sensors in industries such as chemical, metal and mining, paper and pulp, pharmaceuticals,  refineries, water treatment facilities, power plants, oilfields, pipelines, and utility grids.
