HODRIAN

The goal of HODRIAN is to develop reliable, wireless communication systems for industrial real-time applications. In this context, reliable data delivery with real-time guarantees in the area of milliseconds is of fundamental imporance. The developed concepts shall be applied to connect a monorail that is used in factories to transport tools and material to a central controller. Reliable real-time communication is essential to allow the monorail cars to communicate. If data delivery fails, the highly expensive cars might crash into each other. However, cable connections are not a viable alternative due to the mobility of the monorail cars.

To develop and evaluate highly-robust, wireless communication components for industrial applications (Höchstrobuste, drahtlose Kommunikationskomponenten für industrielle Anwendungen, HODRIAN) we pursue the following goals:

Analysis of the basic system "Token-Passing Ring" including the protocols for physical and link layer
Optimization w.r.t. latency, packet error rate, and complexity
Development and integration of an autonomous coexistence and interference management
Experimental evaluation of the basic system, as well as the investigated enhancements
Consulting industrial partners in implementation steps of field modules
Construction of a demonstrator in an industrial monorail
