FUDGE-5G: Industry 4.0 Campus Network

FUDGE-5G will showcase an Industry 4.0 Campus Network with ultra-low time synchronisation requirements (TSN). In the factory, a controller will interact with many sensor and actuator devices, located within a small area (up to 100 m2). These applications have high-performance requirements such as low latency, high reliability, and deterministic delivery of messages. In some environments, replacing the wired links with wireless links will provide flexibility for remote reconfiguration and facilities deployments, e,g., cables need to go through hazardous areas, a rotating part in a machine needs connectivity. A 5GLAN-type of service can be provided by enhancing existing wireless and/or fixed LAN solutions deployed in the Industry 4.0 factory. The combination of the private network with a public network (Campus Network) brings ubiquitous coverage where the private network does not reach.
