ISA TR100.00.02-2009

This technical report presents a number of technologies that, as of the date of this document, are under consideration for deployment and utilization in industrial settings. In many instances, the technology was meant for a different environment - not the "canyons of metal," variable attenuation, potentially multipath-laden environment of industrial settings. Not every specific detail of every candidate technology is reviewed, just a few that various end users such as those in petrochemical (on-shore/off-shore), pharmaceutical manufacturing, power systems (generation and distribution), and pulp and paper processing have inquired about.

While not inclusive of every possible asset tracking technology, those included are based on technical report contributions over an 18-month period.
