Manufacturing

Enabling smart manufacturing with 5G Connectivity

Digital transformation and automation are no longer new concepts for the manufacturing industry.

With wide-spread understanding of the benefits digital can bring to productivity, safety, security and sustainability, manufacturers are under increasing pressure to shift to ‘Industry 4.0’- ready operations.

Enhance your Industrial Connectivity

Underpinning the technology that enables digital transformation is wireless connectivity. Secure, reliable, fast, high-capacity connectivity solutions enables use-cases that:

Boost productivity through smarter, more automated processes and operations
Enhance safety by removing workers from hazardous environments
Allow for 24/7, 365 operations with no downtime
Restrict outside access to data
Connect assets across the full site
Reduce maintenance time

Connectivity Solutions

Private Networks

The benefits of a Private Network in the Manufacturing sector:

Low latency, high bandwidth connectivity – guarantees always-on performance, and assures operational continuity across the entire site
Secure and private – restricts access from outside and delivers data protection and compliance as standard
Cost savings – enables efficiency-increasing technologies, including IoT applications, for automation
Data analytics – monitor output in real-time and utilise data to make fast and well-informed decisions
Emergency management – enable safety operations including ‘person down’ operations

Example use-cases:

Remote control operation of machinery and vehicles
Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Digital Twin operations that remove the need for workers in hazardous environments
Real-time asset tracking
Environmental sensors to identify harmful emissions and monitor and reduce energy consumption
Automated ‘self-fix’ applications for asset and workforce management
Enhanced reporting for compliance
