Mind the Worst Case: Real-Time Wireless for Industrial Safety | PRG 26

Closed-loop control and safety need reliable updates within milliseconds. Not on average, not most of the time, but ALWAYS.

While enterprise IT may get away with 99% availability and doesn't care about latency spikes, reliability in OT starts at 99.99% and every late packet counts against that. A fun talk about metal caves (industrial environments), the major sources of latency in Wi-Fi, what you can do to avoid them, and how a tiny startup built an industrial-grade deterministic wireless system based on commercial off-the-shelf components.

Live demo included.
