High performance integrated and discrete RF and microwave components can be implemented across the entire frequency spectrum to enable application specific designs for a contactless Gbps-level data transmission via rotary joints.

AiR GUARD technology uses a cellular wireless device to enable monitoring and calculation of the carbon dioxide produced by manufacturing processes from field sites. It connects digital meters via Modbus RS-485, and data is transmitted in an encrypted format through the Azure Sphere chipset.

Industrial wireless technologies are indeed required to enable autonomous and remote-controlled robots and vehicles, to improves collaboration between mobile workers and increase the overall efficiency and safety of an industrial system. Reliability is a key issue for all of these applications.

Phoenix Contact has a vision to leap manufacturing forward today with fast industrial wireless connectors. It found a collaborative partner with expertise in mmW (RF) technology to get to market faster to achieve its goal in Analog Devices. Here is an overview of their joint approach to next-generation wireless technology.

A Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) report explores how autonomous Mobile Robots, Automatic Guided Vehicles, Augmented and Virtual Reality use cases can be addressed with Industrial Internet of Things deployment guidelines.

A Rapid Roaming enhanced WIFI client monitors surroundings and prepares new access points (APs) before die-down and drop-off connection processes take place. Protocols are used to seek a new AP when communication is healthy, assuring throughput and faster transitions and switch times.

IoT-connected sensors with cloud-based geolocation capabilities allow organizations to monitor assets over large geographic regions. With this technology in place, retailers can work directly with their manufacturers and logistics partners to mitigate potential delays in the supply chain while managing customer expectations.

pLTE is truly a paradigm shift for industrial customers with challenging wireless needs. Businesses requiring a more secure network with higher reliability, more mobility, and broader coverage areas should seriously consider pLTE technology.

Wireless and cellular networks offer an array of solutions for IoT deployments. Identifying the parameters of the use case, and the nature of the deployment, is very important as companies optimize their communications networks for IIoT applications.

The question is not whether, but how IEEE 802.11ax (also known as Wi-Fi 6) and 5G are driving wireless mobile communications in the industrial environment. Siemens supports both technologies in order to offer optimal solutions for the most diverse requirements.
