Abstract

Wireless connectivity will underpin industrial automation and factories of the future. One of the limitations of the current IEEE 802.11 family and Wi-Fi for use in industrial applications is achieving ultra reliable and low latency communications (URLLC). IEEE 802.11bn and by extension Wi-Fi 8 ultra-high reliability (UHR) is currently being introduced to address these shortcomings. Key to providing UHR in factory settings will be ensuring an adequate understanding of the signal propagation characteristics which are likely to be encountered. In this paper, we use a commercial ray tracing engine to investigate two hypothetical use cases within future factories; namely inventory monitoring using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and movement of stock using a forklift vehicle at 6.745 GHz and 60.48 GHz.
