Abstract:
Over the past few years wireless networking has rapidly moved to the forefront in manufacturing as a next-generation solution for networked diagnostics, control and safety. The practical implementation of wireless, however, brings with it many issues, such as performance, reliability, and security, that must be addressed before the return on investment in moving to wireless can be realized. This workshop will explore the challenges and opportunities of moving to wireless, with a focus on wireless performance of control networks on the factory floor. Presentations from wireless practitioners and researchers will be followed by a panel discussion to distill out the most important issues that should be addressed in order to accelerate the adoption of wireless technologies.
