Summary
Advances in automating transport and industry – the realisation of the Industrial Internet of Things – are being held back by something very simple: wiring.
There are 550km of wires in an Airbus A380 plane: 7.5 tonnes of cabling adding to fuel consumption on every flight. Wiring costs money: in weight, installation time, maintenance, and retrofitting.
But until now the accuracy and latency needed for automated machine control systems using wireless technology have simply not been available: too much data is lost and lag is too great for industrial automation, still less aircraft controls.
R3 is a German software company whose goal is to fix that, making wireless as effective as wires. Our world-first innovation uses “co-operative diversity” between transmitters: we leverage all the chips in a system as “assistant senders” to each other. We have demonstrated we can cut data loss to
