contents New-generation communication and sensing systems are gaining strong interest in the context of Industry 4.0 e.g., related to mapping techniques, environmental sensing, automation or hyper-vision. The radio propagation in confined, cluttered and heavily metalized factory environments is a critical challenge; thus an evaluation by accurate propagation channel models is necessary. Site-specific channel emulation can be obtained from Ray-tracing (RT); but RT validation for factory environments is still an on-going work. For this purpose, a measurement campaign was performed in a machine room with many metallic objects and machines, using a mmWave channel sounder. Wideband channel responses were collected and compared to RT simulations. The RT prediction tool was calibrated to minimize the error observed on some large scale statistics, thus reaching a very good agreement between the simulation and the measurement. Average error in received power, delay spread and azimuth spread is below 1.5 dB, 5 ns and 2° respectively.
