Summary: <br> We had the pleasure to have Kilian Löser on the show to talk about Wi-Fi in manufacturing envrionments. We took the opportunity to talk about what is coming up and how these environments are evolving with Industry 4.0.<br> <br> <br> <br> Feel free to follow Kilian on LinkedIn (<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/loeserkilian/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/loeserkilian/</a>) and Twitter(<a href="https://twitter.com/KilianLoeser">@KilianLoeser</a>).<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> In this episode, we’ve talk about the following topics:<br> <br> <br> <br> * Situation today in warehouses and manufacturing environments* Different wireless use cases we can find today* Different problems around Wi-Fi networks in these environments* Definition of what Industry 4.0 means* The need for multiple wireless protocols* The proprietary wireless protocol from Siemens: iPCF-MC* New set of devices expected to be used in these environments (AGV, AMR)* Wi-Fi 6 in the manufacturing environment* The factory of the future (use cases)<br> <br> <br> <br> You can download Kilian’s Whitepaper on Wi-Fi 6 here: <a href="https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/automation/industrial-communication/industrial-wireless-lan.html#Whitepaper">https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/automation/industrial-communication/industrial-wireless-lan.html#Whitepaper</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Resources<br> <br> <br> <br> * WLPC Prague 2019 Presentation from Maksim Getman: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LLvQKjm1S8">Steel Factory Wi-Fi | Maksim Getman | WLPC Prague 2019</a>* WLPC Prague 2019 Presentation from Yosef Graziano: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_awUR3JzN2c">Wi-Fi for Challenging Environments | Yosef Graziano | WLPC Prague 2019</a>* Video, explanation of the iPCF-MC protocol: <a href="https://assets.new.siemens.com/siemens/assets/api/uuid:4bdccad2-362a-41db-b3ef-8c07b884a5db/version:1574068623/ipcf-mc-en.mp4">https://assets.new.siemens.com/siemens/assets/api/uuid:4bdccad2-362a-41db-b3ef-8c07b884a5db/version:1574068623/ipcf-mc-en.mp4</a>* Video, explanation of the iPCF protocol: <a href="https://assets.new.siemens.com/siemens/assets/api/uuid:4513b9f0-37d0-4a32-aa9e-e0e64549abdf/version:1574068635/quick-roaming-rcoax-with-ipcf-en.mp4">https://assets.new.siemens.com/siemens/assets/api/uuid:4513b9f0-37d0-4a32-aa9e-e0e64549abdf/version:1574068635/quick-roaming-rcoax-with-ipcf-en.mp4</a>* The factory of the Future (Factory 56 Daimler): <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=UdDvDKC8FVM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=UdDvDKC8FVM</a>* The factory of the Future (Porsche Taycan): <a href="https://new.siemens.com/global/en/markets/automotive-manufacturing/references/porsche.html">https://new.siemens.com/global/en/markets/automotive-manufacturing/references/porsche.html</a>* Whitepaper on Wi-Fi 6 by Siemens (Kilian): <a href="https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/automation/industrial-communication/industrial-wireless-lan.html#Whitepaper">https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/automation/industrial-communication/industrial-wireless-lan.html#Whitepaper</a>* Details on Siemens AGV SIMOVE concept: <a href="https://assets.new.siemens.com/siemens/assets/public.1560752109.542c7044-05c4-4af2-8c9a-e77f85520cf6.simove-agv-flyer-v3.pdf">https://assets.new.siemens.com/siemens/assets/public.1560752109.542c7044-05c4-4af2-8c9a-e77f85520cf6.simove-agv-flyer-v3.pdf</a><br>
