IWLAN in the automotive industry High availability and personal safety Efficient production is essential Automotive manufacturing is among the most profitable and fastest-moving industries worldwide. The huge production pressure makes it mandatory to avoid plant downtimes that can result in significant losses. Production in • Failsafe, wireless communication the automotive industry is also strongly influenced by automation. Robots handle many of the work steps, a lot more than in most other industries – so smooth collaboration between humans and machines poses especially high requirements for personal safety. Reliable processes are critical for success Wireless data communication with Industrial Wireless LAN (IWLAN) plays an important role in many areas of the automotive industry in supporting reliable and safe operations. An example is controlling robots in the production cells where body, engine, and drivetrain are brought together, or through wireless networking of heavy load overhead monorails in logistics. Safety of the personnel is ensured at all times. The plant performs an emergency stop immediately in critical situations thanks to real-time communication via PROFINET or EtherNet/IP applications. for high performance and safety of people • Cost reduction and minimized downtimes thanks to wear-free connection with RCoax • Exact positioning of car parts with IWLAN and bar code readers along an overhead monorail • Very fast roaming times of <50 ms for uninterrupted communication • Safe emergency stop function for automation components • Connection to existing production networks is based on standards
