ABSTRACT

Recent advances in manufacturing industry which paved a way to intelligent Manufacturing in the Context of next generation of industry, referred to as "Industry 4.0". There is relevant information from all related resources which is monitored and synchronized. These units must be as smart as they can collect, act, and behave within a smart environment. Most research and survey have paid more attention to networked machines. So, they can be able to exercise more efficiently, collaboratively and resiliently. However, connected people, who are the key elements of future manufacturing, side by side with intelligent machines for making smarter decision, do not receive much interest in these worldwide movements. This paper focuses on constructing a general architecture by exploring the technical features and beneficial outcomes by incorporating Ultra-Wideband (UWB)-based Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) sensors into this smart environment. In addition, a comprehensive overview of UWB-based WBANs radiowave communication channel measurements in industrial indoor environment will be presented.
