Future industrial plants will be characterized by complex ad hoc networking of sensors and actuators, machines, and control and regulation units. Radio communication has long been identified as a problem solver for this networking in industrial automation. However, current wireless solutions such as ZigBee, Bluetooth, WirelessHart or WLAN do not meet the high requirements for real-time capability and determinism for use in highly dynamic control engineering applications. To achieve a breakthrough in the application of radio communication in manufacturing plants with high demands on timing and error behavior, a coordinated and consistent design of the communication layers of the radio system is required. A particular challenge is to provide an adequate communication infrastructure for the requirements of flexibility, modularity, mobility and dynamics addressed in the future project Industrie 4.0. In addition, efficient industrial radio communication can open up completely new automation concepts and areas of application.
The aim of this project is to develop innovative technologies for a new industrial radio system that offers new functionalities and properties in radio communication far beyond the current state of the art, for example for new real-time control applications.
