Abstract-Wireless communication is an enabling technology for industrial automation. For mobile industrial devices operating in large areas, the performance of the wireless handover process is crucial. For the welfare of industrial processes short time communication outage must be ensured, especially for time-critical traffic. This paper assesses the handover performance for three industrial real-life use cases with different requirements. It covers handover performance under heavy interference, its impact on time-critical traffic and on broadcast traffic latency, followed by lessons learned and opportunities for further research.

“…With increasing automation, industries try to improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption, increase benefits, and working conditions for workers. e increasing number of mobile nodes, such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) [1], and other field devices increased the need for new ways of communication inside the factory floor, apart from wired communication. Hereby, the wireless technology is seen as an important enabling technology in such cases.…”

In order to speed up industrial processes and to improve logistics, mobile robots are getting important in industry. In this paper, we propose a flexible and configurable architecture for the mobile node that is able to operate in different network topology scenarios. The proposed solution is able to operate in presence of network infrastructure, in ad hoc mode only, or to use both possibilities. In case of mixed architecture, mesh capabilities will enable coverage problem detection and overcoming. The solution is based on real requirements from an automated guided vehicle producer. First, we evaluate the overhead introduced by our solution. Since the mobile robot communication relies in broadcast traffic, the broadcast scalability in mesh network is evaluated too. Finally, through experiments on a wireless testbed for a variety of scenarios, we analyze the impact of roaming, mobility and traffic separation, and demonstrate the advantage of our approach in handling coverage problems.

Abstract---Military applications are very hazardous. Some of those applications are cannot performed by human beings. Hence wireless robots are deployed in such applications. Here for the video transmission from surveillance area to the processing Personal Computer (PC), the FM (Frequency Modulation) is used and also from processing PC to robot commands are transmitted through ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) modulation.
