Wireless communications is a neccesity for today's industrial networking. fiere are important reasons supporting this affirmation. In flexible manufacturing, there are a large number of qobile devices which need wireless control such as mobile robots, portables, autonomous vehicles. .. Also enterprises like the idea of having the possibility of fast and cheap network reconJpration that can be provided thanks to wireless nodes. For the design of these Vstems in a particular factory, inahstrial plant.., it is necessary to carry measurement campaigns for different transmitter and receiver locations in order to &ermine coverage. This paper presents a simulator which compute these calculations automatically, providing money and time savings.
