Networks for Robotics Applications in Industrial/Manufacturing Segments

(Factories, Warehouses)

 

PHYTunes’ Wi-Fi 7 connectivity offers a super low-latency, high throughput WLAN platform tailored for various industrial settings such as manufacturing facilities, and warehouses. This technology can be deployed independently to provide indoor connectivity or integrated with partner capabilities to establish a comprehensive WLAN connectivity ecosystem.

Manufacturing 4.0 with physical AI robotics faces several challenges, including scalability, cybersecurity, and the cost of deployment and expansion. Scalability requires ensuring consistent performance even as the number of machines increases significantly, without degradation over larger geographic areas. Swarms of robots in large facilities will require shared Edge AI resources which will tighten the requirements on low latency networks.  Cybersecurity is a concern due to the vulnerability of Access Points (APs) spread over vast areas, making them susceptible to hacking. Additionally, the cost-effectiveness of deploying additional connectivity systems must be considered to justify new investments.

PHYTunes’ Wi-Fi solutions offer compelling value propositions for Robotics by addressing these challenges. Leveraging building wires (Coax, Ethernet, and Fiber), PHYTunes technology enables wireless signals to travel most of the distance from the router to the AP node, reducing hacking risks. The use of power adjusting signals from PHYTunes RF Nodes minimizes interference and detection by hackers.

With simple access points like Atlas and Triton RF tuners that require no inter-nodal routing, installation and scalability are straightforward. This deployment strategy, coupled with building wire utilization, significantly reduces deployment costs. In essence, PHYTunes’ products offer a cost-effective, low-latency, and highly scalable Wireless LAN solution for Manufacturing 4.0 applications.

For Robotics use cases in factories and manufacturing, PHYTunes’ solutions offer:

  • Increased Task Completion
  • Increased Uptime
  • Increased Safety with Seamless Coverage
  • More Flexibility in Movement and Speed
