Abstract

The industrial environment is going through exponential changes, due to the diversity of technological solutions that appear more and more frequently and the increase of productivity at increasing capacities. Due to this fact in the industrial area the number of devices, processing systems, collaborative robots, mobile robots and industrial equipment is increasing more and more. Consequently, there is a need for communication and connectivity of entities, common physical or virtual functioning and decision making, all of which are fundamental to the transition to the new concept of Industry 4.0. This study presents how wireless communication can be achieved in a mobile robotic platform that serves an industrial sector with other equipment in the production area, such as industrial equipment, collaborative industrial robots or other mobile robots. Also in this paper is presented how to create an HMI interface for the mobile platform that can be accessed from a touchscreen display mounted on the robot or from any mobile device connected to the internet.

Summary

Introduction

Intelligent systems are developing extremely fast. This development comes with a set of major improvements of different communication systems both in everyday life and in the industrial environment [1,2]. The development of communication systems has developed major in recent years with the advent of microprocessors containing an increasing number large number of transistors and are becoming more efficient For these reasons we can today discuss wireless, internet, or Bluetooth communications, which can provide a large exchange of data between devices and at very fast speeds. The industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), which is the application for industry, opens up huge opportunities for a large number of new applications that bring major opportunities to improve productivity in factories and ensure a better allocation of resources. This revolutionary technology is attracting the attention of many researchers and practitioners around the world. The Internet of Things is a language common to all connected systems, regardless of the brand, operating system, or software tools used [4,5]
