New horizons for cellular M2M
connectivity in industrial automation apps
M2M is an abbreviation for machine-to-machine, or technology that
supports wired or wireless communication between devices. Industrial
automation systems utilize M2M communication to monitor and control
remote and local facilities and equipment to increase operational effi-
ciency. A wireless automation system contains a mix of network tech-
nologies and equipment including a backoffice solution, network equip-
ment, control devices and field devices. The combination of wireless
technologies such as Wi-Fi, cellular, WirelessHART, ISA100 and Blue-
tooth can provide ubiquitous online connectivity at reasonable cost and
deliver very high performance, as well as excellent availability.
BergInsightestimatesthatshipmentsofindustrialautomationM2Mdevic-
es with cellular communication capabilities reached 760,000 worldwide
in 2013. Growing at a compound annual growth rate of 22.5 percent, the
shipments are expected to reach 2.1 million by 2018. Network equipment
in industrial automation applications including gateways, switches, con-
nectors, routers and wireless access points featuring embedded cellular
connectivity is the largest industrial automation M2M device segment.
Berg Insight estimates that shipments of cellular network equipment
reached 530,000 worldwide in 2013. Shipments of automation equip-
ment featuring embedded cellular connectivity including machinery,
industrial robots, RTUs, PLCs, DCSs, sensors, I/O modules and opera-
tor terminals reached 230,000 devices in 2013. The number of cellular
M2M connections in industrial automation applications is forecasted to
grow at a compound annual growth rate of 23.2 percent from 2.5 million
connections at the end of 2013 to 7.1 million connections by 2018. Back-
bone network communication is the largest application for cellular M2M
within both factory and process automation. It is also increasingly com-
mon to use wireless communication in monitoring applications. Remote
service maintenance and diagnostics of machinery and industrial robots
is a major application within factory automation and real-time monitoring
of remote facilities and equipment are one of the most common applica-
tions within process automation.
Eaton, Phoenix Contact, Advantech and Kontron are major provid-
ers of industrial automation equipment and solutions which also offer
products and solutions featuring embedded cellular connectivity. Moxa,
Red Lion, HMS Industrial Networks, B&B Electronics, Westermo and
Insys Microelectronics specialise in industrial network equipment in-
cluding routers, gateways and switches and also provide products
featuring embedded cellular connectivity. Digi International, Teltonika,
Calamp, Eurotech, Hongdian, Multi-Tech Systems, Maestro Wire-
less Solutions, Erco & Gener and Robustel Technologies are exam-
ples of cellular M2M specialists offering solutions for a wide range
of applications such as fleet management, retail, security as well
as industrial automation. eWon, Netmodule, and Viola Systems are
examples of vendors which are specialised in M2M solutions for indus-
trial applications. The worldwide market for wireless M2M applications
in industrial automation are also populated by global industrial automa-
tion and engineering companies including ABB, Emerson, Honeywell,
Schneider Electric, Siemens and Yokogawa. These companies are all
major SCADA and automation vendors with thousands to several hun-
dreds of thousands employees, delivering solutions for automation and
control to all major industry segments.
Industrial automation is an essential part of most manufacturing activi-
ties and market pressure to reduce costs and improve efficiency are im-
portant drivers for adoption. Wireless automation solutions are required
when wired communications are too hazardous or impractical. Wireless
solutions are also often faster and more cost effective to deploy and
maintain which increase the flexibility and scalability of factory plant lay-
outs. A new generation of high capacity LTE cellular networks will ad-
dress the growth in demand for data hungry applications such as video
monitoring as well as spur innovation of new applications. Furthermore,
LTE will increase the usage of cellular communication in industrial back-
bone networks even further. Remote monitoring are already today a key
driver for cellular M2M and LTE network’s shorter latency times will also
enable cellular connectivity to be used in an increasing number of re-
mote control applications. However, requirements vary depending on
the application and cellular is part of a mix together with other technolo-
gies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, WirelessHART and ISA100.
