Siemens has developed a system for precisely operating industrial equipment on the basis of the wireless WLAN radio standard, which makes it possible to control factory machinery via radio signals, for example. The so-called IWLAN´s unique feature is an emergency shutdown function that can be activated via mobile devices. The solution opens up new possibilities in production, such as the establishment of rotating production equipment or the operation of driverless transport systems. Due to its cutting-edge technology several carmakers including Audi and VW are using the system.
