[Hi, I'm Kathleen Carroll-Mullen,]

[GE Enterprise Solutions Water Vertical Marketing Leader.]

[Did you know that keeping the water source clean and safe could be a ]

[very manual process in industrial plants?]

[A manual process basically means a plant operator with a clipboard ]

[and an industrial-graded stick would sometimes walk, ]

[or many times drive, to a chemical tank that could be up to a mile away]

[and take the recordings of the readings and bring it back.]

[So why should we care?]

[Number one, high labor costs in this kind of process.]

[Number two, safety and environmental concerns.]

[For instance, if you had a tank leak, you would not know unless ]

[someone physically saw it.]

[And lastly, inaccurate data leading to some bad decisions.]

[At Enterprise Solutions, we developed the Hosted Wireless Monitoring Solution, ]

[which makes life easier for industrial customers.]

[The system utilizes a wireless Trinity Gateway Box as the field data collection point.]

[For tank applications, we use pressure sensors that hang into the tank, via cable,]

[and a data node mounted on the top of the tank, ]

[with the data sent via mesh radio technology. ]

[Once the Trinity Gateway collects the data, it is sent to a secure, hosted server.]

[The customer now sees their data presented in a very user-friendly format.]

[It is a secure access, 24/7, and they send alarms at some key events ]

[that the customer needs to know about.]

[The benefits are endless.]

[It saves a huge amount of labor time, reduces the potential safety hazards, ]

[and insures accurate environmental reporting. ]

[Precision and continuous monitoring allows the operator to make educated decisions]

[on chemical dosing and deliveries.]

[And the wireless technology eliminates the need for costly cable installation. ]

[Enterprise Solutions is paving the way for industry to elevate productivity]

[to unprecedented levels.]
