System and method for estimating radio performance of manufacturing site

A system for estimating radio performance of a manufacturing site, the system comprising:

• one or more storage devices;
• and
• one or more arithmetic devices,
• wherein the one or more storage devices store:
• process information including information on one or more processes before starting at the manufacturing site;
• and
• management information that manages one or more radio performance estimation methods usable for each of a plurality of applications and information for determining a processing time of each of the one or more radio performance estimation methods,
• wherein the process information includes information on one or more applications used in each process of the one or more processes and information on a time associated with each process, and
• wherein the one or more arithmetic devices are configured to:
• refer to the process information and the management information so as to determine one or more radio performance estimation methods usable in each process, and
• refer to the process information and the management information so as to select a wireless communication method, through which radio performance estimation processing is completed by a time associated with each process, from the one or more radio performance estimation methods usable in each process,
• wherein the process information includes position information on an installed object including a wireless communication device in each process,
• wherein the radio performance estimation method used in the one or more processes includes a first propagation simulation of a radio wave and a second propagation simulation with lower accuracy and more calculation processing than the first propagation simulation, and
• wherein the first propagation simulation and the second propagation simulation execute a simulation based on the position information on the installed object.
