This article presents an overview of current Industry 4.0 applied research topics, addressed from both the industrial production and wireless communication points of view. A roadmap toward achieving the more advanced industrial manufacturing visions and concepts, such as “swarm production” (nonlinear and fully decentralized production) is defined, highlighting relevant industrial use cases, their associated communication requirements, as well as the integrated technological wireless solutions applicable to each of them. Further, the article introduces the Aalborg University 5G Smart Production Lab, an industrial lab test environment specifically designed to prototype and demonstrate different Industrial IoT use cases enabled by the integration of robotics, edge-cloud platforms, and autonomous systems operated over wireless technologies such as 4G, 5G, and Wi-Fi. Wireless performance results from various operational trials are also presented for two use cases: wireless control of industrial production and wireless control of autonomous mobile robots.

5G群生产：无线自动化支持的先进工业制造概念

本文概述了当前的工业4.0应用研究主题，从工业生产和无线通信的角度解决了这一问题。定义了实现更先进的工业制造愿景和概念的路线图，例如“大量生产”（非线性和完全分散的生产），突出了相关的工业用例，其相关的通信要求以及适用于以下方面的集成技术无线解决方案他们每个人。此外，本文还介绍了奥尔堡大学5G智能生产实验室，这是一个工业实验室测试环境，专门设计用于原型化和演示通过集成机器人技术，边缘云平台和通过无线技术（例如， 4G，5G和Wi-Fi。还针对两个用例提供了来自各种操作试验的无线性能结果：工业生产的无线控制和自主移动机器人的无线控制。
