Abstract

Industry 4.0 is currently viewed as the future era in which a new generation of wireless communications will enable the widespread connectivity between machines, objects, and users, promising significant advancements in industrial automation. Industrial scenarios are highly dynamic environments that require the ability to adapt to changes in operating conditions. Reliable wireless communications can be challenging in industrial environments, where the communications signal is often blocked due to the presence of industrial machinery, with possible intermittent and/or unpredictable blockages. This paper analyzes the wireless coverage provided by a low-cost IoT system in an industrial environment. A measurement campaign in different points of an industrial warehouse were carried out, showing substantial differences in terms of coverage between a totally empty area and an area with machinery and workers. The results show that the IoT system is able to provide enough coverage around the whole area, even with mobility or blockages.

使用低成本物联网系统分析工业4.0的无线覆盖:案例研究

工业4.0目前被视为未来的时代，新一代无线通信将实现机器、对象和用户之间的广泛连接，有望在工业自动化方面取得重大进展。工业场景是高度动态的环境，需要能够适应操作条件的变化。在工业环境中，可靠的无线通信可能具有挑战性，因为由于工业机械的存在，通信信号经常被阻挡，可能会出现间歇性和/或不可预测的阻塞。本文分析了低成本物联网系统在工业环境下提供的无线覆盖。在一个工业仓库的不同地点进行了测量活动，显示完全空的区域和有机器和工人的区域在覆盖范围方面存在很大差异。结果表明，即使在移动或阻塞情况下，物联网系统也能够在整个区域提供足够的覆盖。
