Technical specification for high speed wireless network site of China's independent research and development of factory automation application oriented (WIA - FA), the International Electrotechnical Commission officially became the day before (IEC) standard, marks the industrial automation wireless network technology developed in China has been widely recognized by the international field of automation.


WIAFA is led by the Shenyang Institute of automation, instrumentation technology & Economy Institute, University of Science and Technology Beijing and other units jointly study the development, for the realization of sensors, transmitters, actuators between factory automation equipment, high safety, high reliability, real-time information interaction specification of wireless network technology, can be widely used in intelligent discrete manufacturing equipment the upgrade.

Reportedly, WIA-FA standard solve the problems in factory automation facing cable network wiring and high maintenance cost, mobility and flexibility. It will play an important role in improving production efficiency, improving product quality and reducing production costs. It is significant for promoting the transformation of manufacturing industry from traditional mass production mode to the personalized production mode in the era of industrial 4.0 times. As an important part of the industrial Internet of things, factory automation wireless network has become the focus of competition in the field of intelligent manufacturing and automation in recent years. 

Likes  ISA ETSI set up a working group in succession, Promote the standardization of factory automation wireless network technology.
