Wireless communication in Industrial Automation systems
Realtime communication amongst the various hierarchy levels of industrial automation systems is key for efficient operation of a modern factory. It is still wired communication which is dominant in factory automation applications, in particular for stationary system components. However, with mobile robots, automated guided vehicles and other mobile devices becoming more widespread – in particular on the factory floor -, wireless information and command exchange approaches are increasing its market share, driven by internet of things (IoT). Campus networks whether it is Wi-Fi or 4/5/6G demand for lowest propagation delay and robust data transfer to reach real-time capability. Bluetooth for short range communication purposes entering industrial automation systems as well.

By watching this eLearning you will learn why antenna tuners are an essential piece to get best signal quality and optimal connectivity.
Do you know what industrial automation is? Join us on this journey through the world of factory automation and find out how semiconductor solutions help factories become smart! Modern industries typically require many coordinated single steps to accomplish a finished product or any activity flow. Imagine this with no automation in place: any high volume outputs or uninterrupted courses of action at a high level of quality and in a short time would not be possible, would it?
