"The work is aimed at specifying the goals for such a profile and how to reach them," Mats Andersson of consulting firm Connectblue tells Elektroniktidningen.
At the moment, the framework is passed between the group within Bluetooth SIG which deals with the establishment of new profiles and the unofficial working party of which Mats Andersson is a member.
The idea is for the work to produce a specification, a profile, within the Bluetooth standard which takes into account special requirements and protocols for, for instance field buses used in industry.
"We will probably use one or several of the field bus standards used today," says Mats Andersson.
In this way, the group hopes it will be possible to make equipment from different manufacturers compatible. As Mats Andersson explains:
"Traditionally, the automation industry has been hampered by company specific standards, which we hope to avoid."
