Wireless sensor networks for critical industrial applications are becoming a remarkable technological paradigm. Large-scale adoption of the wireless connectivity in the field of industrial monitoring and process control is mandatorily paired with the development of tools for the prediction of the wireless link quality to mimic network planning procedures similar to conventional wired systems. I...

A complete dynamic wideband channel model for industrial wireless sensor network is presented. The model takes into account the noise, interferences, and heavy multipath propagation effects present in harsh industrial environments. A first-order two-state Markov process is adopted to describe the typical bursty nature of the impulsive noise usually present in industrial environments. The interf...

The Industrial Ethernet based on IP realizes interconnection of industrial network and information network, and it is the most potential technology in the new industrial net products. In this paper, the defects of the original control system for tobacco shred production line are analyzed, and the new design plan of control system based on EtherNet/IP is presented. The control net adopts redunda...

Wireless sensor nodes deployed in RF industrial environment for monitoring machineries and environment for controlling and maintenance purpose is challenging due to exchange of huge critical data via degraded link. The quality of link in industrial environment is highly influenced by metallic infrastructure, multipath distortion, EM noise, wide tolerance range of device and coexisting technolog...

The design and simulation of coding schemes, Medium Access Control (MAC), and link-layer protocols for future industrial wireless local area networks can be supported by some understanding of the statistical properties of the bit error patterns delivered by a wireless link (which is an ensemble of transmitter, channel, receiver, modems). We present results of bit error measurements taken with a...

The concept of industrial human-robot collaboration (HRC) is becoming increasingly attractive as a means for enhancing manufacturing productivity and product. However, due to traditional preventive health and safety standards, there have been few operational examples of true HRC, so it has not been possible to explore the organisational human factors that need to be considered by manufacturing ...

Obtaining optimum energy performance is the primary design concern of any mechanical system, such as ground vehicles, gear trains, high speed electromechanical devices and especially industrial robot manipulators. The optimum energy performance of an industrial robot manipulator based on the minimum energy consumption in its joints is required for developing of optimum control algorithms (Delin...
