What is Line of Sight

Chapter 8
Industry 4.0 and Hyper-Customized Smart Manufacturing Supply Chains
The line of sight (LoS) communication is defined as a type of propagation system where the transmitter and receiver which propagate and receive signal will be in view with each other without any obstacle block the signal. That improves the gain of signal whereas the NLoS (Non -line of sight) is a range in which physical interference across the signal propagate between transmitter and receiver.

Abstract
Rapid technological advances have revolutionized the industrial sector. In the global market, it is necessary to consider the new paradigm of Industry 4.0 that presents a lot of features in the industrial logistics application. It has been seen through literature that innovation management practices enable companies to compete within the autonomous and connected vehicle market and is considered as an emerging and competitive differentiator towards the growth of the product and that of meeting customer demands within the changing markets. The first case study explores the integration of GPS and GLONASS signals in AGV for localization and navigation of customer destination and materials in the indoor and outdoor environment. The second case study implemented in obstacle environment that recognized the obstacle in front of the robot and also identified the dimension of the obstacle size, length, width, circumference, height, and distance from a robot. The strength and disadvantages of the system are discussed in the logistical application and future outlines are provided.
