Abstract
Embodiments of a system including at least one access node configured to wirelessly transmit and receive signals to and from industrial devices within at least two cells of a cellular communications network deployed within a manufacturing facility; and a computer system. The computer system includes an interface connected to transmit and receive signals to and from the access node; and processing circuitry configured to: define a manufacturing process instance, MPI, identifying manufacturing operations necessary to perform a predetermined manufacturing process; allocate one of more of the industrial devices to the MPI, each allocated industrial device configured to perform at least one of the identified manufacturing operations; and implement an Controller configured to control each of the industrial devices allocated to the MPI to cooperatively perform the predetermined manufacturing process.
