Wireless Connectivity for Industrial Automation: The Power of Wi-Fi­® and Bluetooth®

Presented by Infineon Technologies
Factory Communication

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). The speech includes a overview about our AIROC™ wireless connectivitiy products, including Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, Bluetooth® Low Energy, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® combos. Infineon’s wireless technology is built from intellectual property (IP) deployed in all mainstream application segments and meets the latest industry specifications.
