WirelessHART Solutions for Secure Industrial Connectivity

ShortRangeWireless delivers high-reliability WirelessHART systems for seamless field-level automation and predictive operations

Enhancing Industrial Automation with WirelessHART Communication Solutions

WirelessHART is a leading wireless communication protocol purpose-built for industrial process automation. Operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, it creates a time-synchronized, self-organizing, and self-healing mesh network that connects smart field devices, controllers, and monitoring systems. Designed to meet the strict performance, reliability, and security standards of mission-critical industries, WirelessHART enables secure data collection, device diagnostics, and real-time system feedback—even in harsh, interference-heavy environments.

With widespread adoption in energy, petrochemical, water treatment, and manufacturing sectors, WirelessHART continues to support B2B organizations seeking scalable, low-maintenance solutions. Its ability to retrofit legacy systems while meeting Industry 4.0 goals makes it a flexible choice for modernizing industrial operations. ShortRangeWireless provides comprehensive WirelessHART solutions across North America, helping clients achieve greater process visibility, reduced downtime, and improved operational efficiency through tailored deployments and expert guidance.

Case Study

U.S

Petrochemical Refinery (Louisiana)

A leading Gulf Coast refinery deployed a WirelessHART sensor network to monitor pressure and temperature in hazardous Class I, Div 1 zones. With over 150 field devices deployed across critical reaction units, the facility eliminated over 20 miles of cabling. ShortRangeWireless supported gateway integration with their Honeywell DCS, enabling remote diagnostics, improved asset uptime, and a 35% reduction in manual inspections

U.S

Municipal Water Authority (Ohio)

Facing recurring issues with underground pump failures, a municipal utility installed WirelessHART pressure and vibration sensors across 18 lift stations. Using our remote monitoring platform, they automated alerts for maintenance teams, reducing unplanned outages by 42% in the first year and achieving full ROI in just 18 months

Canadian

Pulp & Paper Plant (British Columbia)

A pulp mill in British Columbia partnered with ShortRangeWireless to implement a WirelessHART-based temperature and pressure monitoring solution across its steam delivery lines. The system included over 90 battery-powered sensors feeding into a centralized cloud dashboard. The plant now proactively identifies steam loss, significantly cutting energy waste and improving regulatory compliance
