LoRaWAN as building block in the Namur Open Architecture concept

The Long Range Wide Area Network System in the Namur Open Architecture context

Abstract

The NAMUR Open Architecture concept (NOA) defines additive structures that dock onto the classic automation pyramid, by means of which data from production plants can be made available for the digital twin. Can Long Range Wide Area technology
(LoRaWAN) be used in this context? The LoRaWAN radio standard is primarily used to cover a large number of subscribers with low data rates in urban structures. Pilot deployment in an industrial environment in the process industry has shown that there can be numerous application possibilities.
