Wireless has become a major trend

Communication between tablet and machine

Wireless solutions enable communication between tablets and machines

Communication within the network is the key to flexible, self-organizing production within the context of Industrie 4.0. Industrial wireless systems play a key role in the implementation of such concepts as they offer numerous possibilities for making production processes more efficient and flexible.

Radio-controlled, autonomous transport systems and warehouse shuttles increase the productivity of your system as well as the use of tablets and smartphones for the monitoring, operation, and remote maintenance of machines. In process and infrastructure applications, industrial wireless systems enable data to be recorded from remote stations and field devices that would otherwise be inaccessible.

An innovation: Trusted Wireless 2.0

Trusted Wireless 2.0: industrial wireless technology from Phoenix Contact

Not all industrial applications are suitable for standard-based wireless technologies. Phoenix Contact has recognized this issue and called on its many years of experience to develop the proprietary Trusted Wireless 2.0 wireless technology specifically for industrial use.

The technology is particularly suitable for forwarding sensor and actuator information wirelessly as well as transmitting low to medium volumes of data. With a clear line of sight, distances ranging from several hundred meters up to several kilometers can be covered between two wireless devices.

Trusted Wireless 2.0 therefore closes the gap between WirelessHART as a special technology for sensor networks and Wireless LAN high-speed technology. The technology is used in the Radioline wireless system from Phoenix Contact.
