Monitoring and predictive maintenance refers to the monitoring of certain processes and/ or assets, but without immediately impacting the processes themselves (in contrast to a typical closed-loop control system in factory automation, for example). This includes, in particular, condition monitoring and predictive maintenance based on sensor data. Example use cases [1] include massive wireless sensor networks, and remote access and maintenance. Communication services for monitoring and predictive maintenance are limited to a local service area (both indoor and outdoor). Interaction is required with thepublic network (e.g. for service continuity, roaming, etc.).
