Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of wireless communication in manufacturing systems. By using a digital twin representation of a real production line, a production throughput evaluation is performed for various configurations considering different wireless control communication schemes over Wi-Fi, 4G LTE and 5G NR. The results show that operating the manufacturing execution system (MES) over wireless instead of Ethernet will minimally impact production, as the production throughput will not be degraded for lines containing slow stations; or will only degrade by a maximum of 0.41% during one month of continuous production in the case of fast lines involving quick stations.
