The ISA100 Factory Automation Working Group (WG16) is soliciting input by means of a Request for Proposal for companies or individuals to make a presentation or submit a proposal paper.

ISA100 WG16 is chartered to investigate applications for wireless technology in the factory automation and discrete manufacturing industries such as automotive manufacturing, packaging machinery, machining, and robotics.

The group is seeking presentations for new wireless technology and system architectures for the link between sensors/actuators and automation systems. While wired links between conventional sensors and actuators can often be used, many repetitive motion applications such as machine tools and robotics make wire replacement a major source of work flow interruption and high maintenance cost. WG16 is studying the feasibilities of replacing such wiring with fast, low-cost wireless connections.
