AUTOMATED MANUFACTURING PLANTS CONTROLLED BY WI-FI INSTALLATIONS

• Some manufacturing plants today are controlled by Wi-Fi installations . Certainly , as the industrial internet of things ( IIoT ) progresses and is updated , the process of controlling automation can definitely be initiated from your tablet or mobile phone . If and when a problem occurs , you can be advised remotely . This is how our world is changing today , all of it being encompassed by the industrial Internet of things . Most electro mechanical operators and robots used in the manufacturing process have built in data capturing devices , enabling them to be remotely addressed . They also have the ability to transmit and issue a warning when they are not functioning correctly . All that is required is an excellent wireless network of the type designed and installed by a professional . This relays the software instructions to various equipment capable of receiving .

• This assembly plant in Oakville Ontario , is one of the first Wi-Fi manufacturing assembly lines has Wi-Fi provisioning on the line reducing the complexity of the work to be done and at the same time , saving costs . Using this SYNC software , developments can be made , and simply transmitted to other plants if needed . This factory has , for example , around 92 unique parts each one which has a Wi-Fi address . Quality control is also Wi-Fi controlled . Equipment and devices in some the vehicles today have Wi-Fi controls and the software can be updated . This is just the start using Wi-Fi transmitted software to installations where robots are controlled and is becoming a worldwide trend .
