As factory automation evolves along the road to Industry 4.0, digitalization can be seen affecting several business areas.
Manufacturing and logistics operators (as well as related businesses) are increasingly in need of real-time data and control. For example on last-yards connections and to control smart vehicles.
Trulifi from Signify offers a robust, low latency, and highly stable broadband connection, one that is every bit as good as a wired connection. Or in other words, ‘stable as a cable… but wireless!’ And it’s ideal for places where wireless connectivity is poor or restricted.
With up to 250 Mbps connectivity to the backbone of an industrial network, machines up to eight meters away can be controlled faultlessly. This always-on, dedicated connection also ensures seamless handover as well as high-level security. And it can be combined with existing lighting.
