In the first part of the article series, Klaus-Dieter Walter from SSV Software Systems reported on the initial experiences of a LoRa pilot project in Germany. Jürgen Kern, Managing Director at NetModule, describes the LoRa situation in Switzerland in particular.

Welotec offers a dual-band WLAN omnidirectional antenna with an articulated joint, a classic blade antenna for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WLAN in buildings. The joint allows an angle of 0 to 90° and a 180° rotation around its own axis.
Industry 4.0 is driven and implemented more by 'upper' SMEs and corporations than by small and medium-sized enterprises. What is the reason for this and what new approaches can be used to give SMEs easy access to Industry 4.0?
Ethernet TSN is considered a promising approach for establishing open real-time communication. However, the diversity of the TSN standards also increases the complexity of the networks. Management and automatic configuration mechanisms are currently still simple.
Driven by their end customers, automation technology providers are currently in the process of solving the first task in modern industrial IoT applications: End-to-end communication based on open standards such as OPC UA and TSN.

As part of the IoT trend, new IoT wireless networks are now emerging that are being positioned as competitors to existing mobile networks - such as LoRa. Klaus-Dieter Walter, Managing Director of SSV Software Systems, talks about his initial experiences with a LoRa pilot project in Germany.
Will OPC UA in particular, in combination with TSN, replace fieldbuses? Andreas Huhmann, who is also a board member of SmartFactory-KL, questions this theory and makes a plea for the long-serving fieldbus.
Scientists at the Technical University of Munich are working on a holographic process that generates three-dimensional images of the surroundings based on the radiation from a WLAN transmitter. In future, this could be used to automatically track objects on their way through the factory floor, for example.
Ethernet TSN allows deterministic transmission of real-time critical messages via standard hardware. How can sercos and Ethernet TSN be combined to transmit real-time and normal Ethernet communication via a uniform network standard?
