Field devices can pose an information management problem, especially when there are devices from different vendors, with different underlying technologies and on different networks.
End users are demanding an interoperable device integration model that can comprehensively describe and manage automation components. The FDT standard provides a single path to managing the information flood from intelligent devices across different networks to the applications and ultimately the people that need it. It offers standardization, transparency, and reduced cost.
The numerous benefits offered by FDT makes it a must-have solution for simplifying management of processes. Businesses no longer have to worry about the intricacies and logistics of device communications and can instead invest their time and attention on making the best use of their applications for more informed decision-making, both on the plant floor and top floor.
