Differences in Perspective: Wireless in Process vs. Discrete
Question Discrete Manufacturing Answer
Process Manufacturing Answer
Low-Hanging Fruit? Mobility, Tracking Wireless Process Sensing
Scale-up issue? Provide Common Services Provide Physical Coverage
Voice convergence need? Carrier Cellular Private Network
Real-time Location Value?
Asset tracking, Supply Chain Visibility
Personnel Safety, Material tracking
