It’s an engineering truism that there is no perfect solution, just the best choice for the project at hand. Although wireless technologies like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and the various low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs) and low-power wireless LAN standards such as Long-Range Wide-area Network (LoRaWAN) have their sweet spots, some facilities and applications need more.
If mechanical components such as couplings, shafts and belts were infinitely stiff, it would be possible to size motors based solely on torque and speed requirements. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
