Going Wireless
Twenty years ago, coin-operated public pay phones were located on nearly every street corner in most American towns and cities. Today, finding one is about as easy as locating a needle in a haystack. In addition to altering the urban landscape, the wireless revolution has increased mobility and created a new world of on-demand communication and entertainment.
While most manufacturing engineers use cell phones, pagers, iPods, Palm Pilots and other wireless devices on a daily basis, the industrial world is still tethered to an intricate network of cable and wire. Traditionally, the motors and controls that drive and monitor conveyors, parts feeders, robots, fastening tools and other automated production equipment have been tethered to miles of conduit and pipe. Twenty years from now, that wiring maze will probably be a nostalgic memory—just like the public pay phone.
