Survey on Industrial Wireless Network Technologies for Smart Factory
Ji Eun Jang, Eui‐Jik Kim · 2016
Recently, smart factories are being developed in and around advanced countries. With the rapid progress of ICT, the studies on new manufacturing systems using ICT are being carried out actively. Therefore, it needs to develop a technology to handle flexibly and intelligently complex systems such as distributed control of industrial process as well as factory automation. Accordingly, the need to develop an industrial network technology for real-time factory monitoring & controlling and connecting the inside and outside of a factory is also growing. In this study, based on the analysis of the global trend of smart factory and standardization of industrial network and the survey on future development of smart factory and its expected effects, we propose the direction of future research on industrial network.
