Model of the Wireless Factory Work-cell using the Systems Modeling Language

Published by National Institute of Standards and Technology | National Institute of Standards and Technology | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2018-07-01 00:00:00
Wireless technology is a key enabler of the vision of the future factory work-cell. Such work-cell will operate autonomously with a high degree of mobility enabled by wireless technology. This model describes the work-cell using the Systems Modeling Language (SysML). Using SysML the structural and parametric characteristics of the work-cell are described. Our model provides the architectural components and performance constraints of the work-cell in which wireless is used for a significant portion of connectivity. It identifies the structural components, interfaces, and data flows. Parametric characteristics that impact work-cell performance are included in the model. Using this model, industrial wireless networking requirements and work-cell behaviors may be developed and performance limits may be evaluated. Note: This dataset is stored in MagicDraw XML format. To open the XML file, MagicDraw 18.4 or higher with the SysML plugin is required. An HTML report is included. To view the HTML report, and browser that supports ActiveX is required.
