Invensys' Hesh Kagan to serve second term as president of Wireless Industrial Networking Alliance.

Invensys' Hesh Kagan is to serve a second term as president of the Wireless Industrial Networking Alliance (Wina).

Invensys executives also serve in leadership roles for ISA S95, Mimosa, OPC, Oagis, Omac, ISA S99, ISA S84, Fieldbus Foundation, FDT and PTO standards committees and organisations.

The board of directors of Wina elected Kagan to serve a second term as board president.

Kagan is Technology Marketing Director at Foxboro, Massachusetts, USA-based Invensys Process Systems.

He has worked in the automation and controls industry for more than 25 years.

He headed Foxboro's systems engineering group for a number of years and was part of the original team that developed the standards-based I/A Series automation system.

Kagan currently directs the wireless strategy across Invensys and is the architect of the company's managed wireless network approach, announced at the ISA 2005 Expo in Chicago.

"This is a particularly exciting time to serve in a leadership role at Wina," said Kagan.

"Recent wireless standardisation activities have been significant and have helped move wireless technology from a wild west-like environment, to one that is both more civilised and more manageable for the end users who stand to gain so much from wireless technology, as well as the vendors who are providing wireless products and associated services".

"These activities include the formation of the ISA SP100 wireless interoperability initiative, accelerated vendor activity in low-power wireless radio devices for sensor mesh networks developed in accordance with the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, and Wina's own successful educational Webinar series." Wina is a coalition of companies, industry organisations, technology suppliers, software developers, systems integrators and others interested in accelerating the adoption of wireless for industry.

Invensys also supports other standards efforts through active membership.

These include the Hart Communications Foundation, World Batch Forum, and the ISA SP100 wireless interoperability initiative.
