Demonstrating remote operation of industrial devices using mobile phones
Daniel Görlich, Peter Stephan, Jan Quadflieg · 2007
In the SmartFactoryKL, the intelligent factory of the future, a consortium of companies and research facilities explores new, intelligent technologies. Being a development and demonstration center for industrial applications, the SmartFactoryKL is arbitrarily modifiable and expandable (flexible), connects components from multiple manufacturers (networked), enables its components to perform context-related tasks autonomously (self-organizing), and emphasizes user-friendliness (user-oriented). In this paper, we present a prototypical system that enables commercial mobile phones to monitor, diagnose, and remotely control plant components via Bluetooth.
