Weighted Average Percentage Change of Quantifiable Parameters for Wireless and Wired Manufacturing Networks
In industry, companies are constantly trying to boost - the efficiency of their industrial production, and several of these companies have implemented Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) to increase their efficiency. This research concentrates on looking at different referring papers in an attempt to quantify the amount of efficiency or change in values of different parameters to measure the overall impact produced by implementing wireless service in the manufacturing plant. The results found were that implementing wireless connections, and in most cases, Wi-Fi, might produce efficiencies normally ranging from 17%-34% depending on what each industry weighted or prioritized. These percentage changes could be used to decide if implementing wireless manufacturing is soluble, or if it might not be necessary at this moment. The amount of percentage change differs from place to place, yet a general way of averaging the changes brought by wireless is discussed and calculated.
