Abstract
The information that can be collected and processed by PLCs, must then be passed on to staff in some form so that the information can be used, or reacted to, as required. Integration of a PLC system with a mobile information terminal (a small digital radio receiver) system offers real time information flow to people who are mobile, which results in increased efficiency through decreased response time, and decreased machine or plant down time. Integration of these two technologies is a reasonably simple task, usually only requiring a little software in the PLC
