This trial focuses on less time-critical communications that involve the localisation of assets and goods in on-site production and logistic processes, non-time critical quality control, or data capturing for later usage in virtual design contexts. Similarly, communications with operators on the shop floor may not always require ultra-low latencies, given that human response times are much higher compared to machine-level response times. Concerning logistics, accurate localisation of forklifts, vessels, trolleys, auto guided vehicles etc., can significantly decrease error rates in picking and packaging, by validating the source and destinations of picked goods or parts in real time with intelligent warehouse management systems (WMS).
