Abstract
Communication protocols drive the flow of data between machines in a manufacturing setting. The speed of data flow is one of the factors that determines the speed of production. With the dawn of Industry 4.0, machines are set to become mobile, flexible and intelligent beyond previous standards. These new traits, that are set to be part of the factory setting of Industry 4.0, put greater emphasis on decentralized communication for SMART manufacturing units. Studies show that the research into developing a decentralized communication protocol have been slow and lacking in key aspects which advocate the use of existing communication protocols. This article looks at creating a decentralized protocol for a real-time application and comparing its performance with existing communication protocols along factors such as latency, error checking, real-time and decentralized operation. The article is structured such that initially, it gives an introduction to Industry 4.0 and SMART manufacturing. Secondly, the article details the case study used this study, and then it looks at the methodology used in creating the decentralized protocol. Finally, the results of the study are compared with existing communication protocols.
