Insights and Value Adds

Exhibition

Deutsche Messe, which is also a member of 5G-ACIA, has built-up a private 5G network that supports industrial applications in the industrial frequency range (3.7–3.8 GHz).

Optimized for industrial applications, it will be used by several live demonstrations developed by various 5G-ACIA members.

The Evolution of 5G Performance for Materials Handling in Manufacturing
Demag, ifak, Nokia, and Rohde & Schwarz are teaming up to demonstrate how the performance of 5G is evolving and impacting intralogistics applications.

5G Performance for PROFINET and PROFIsafe Communications
HMS, ifak, NXP and Radisys implemented a PROFINET network via 5G. This testbed evaluates whether failsafe applications are possible on a 5G NPN and how the network performs PROFINET communication.

Industrial 5G Connected Multi-Sensor Platform
Ericsson, Fraunhofer IPT and u-blox have collaborated to evaluate adaptive machining with an acoustic emission sensor and multi-sensor platform for monitoring production processes.

Sharing Experiences

Forum

5G-ACIA brings together key stakeholders for advancing the standardization and regulation of 5G in the industrial domain. In this forum, several 5G-ACIA members will present key 5G-ACIA deliverables for Hannover Messe 2023.

Insights on Experiences

Panels

The Superlative Industrial 5G Communication Standard
5G-ACIA member companies in various sectors are working on Industrial 5G integration and early-stage manufacturing implementations.
These panels, automotive and aviation end users, and key technology partners of the Industrial 5G ecosystem will contribute fascinating insights while discussing Industrial 5G deployments with 5G-ACIA members:

Tuesday, April 18, 2023, 10:30 to 12:00 a.m.

Moderated by Dr. Afif Osseiran, Ericsson, 5G-ACIA General Vice Chair

Market Adaptation of Industrial 5G.
Where are we currently along the path of Industrial 5G deployments?

In this panel, end users will provide insights on how Industrial 5G adds value in their fields of business and discuss the challenges involved. The aim is to show how the overall ecosystem can accelerate the adoption of Industrial 5G and identify any barriers to its large-scale deployment in the manufacturing industry.
This panel will start with a concise presentation of initial experiences with Industrial 5G in the automotive and aerospace industries, and then discuss the potential of this technology and the remaining challenges for applying it to serial production.

Panelists:
Jirka Klaue, Airbus (guest)
Dr. David Chen,
Moxa
Prasad Kodaypak,
Radisys
Dr. Andreas Mueller,
Bosch
Sander Rotmensen, Siemens
Dr. Klaus Tuchs, Volkswagen

Wednesday, April 19, 2023, 1:30 to 3:00 p.m.

Moderated by Uwe Rueddenklau, Infineon, 5G-ACIA WG4 Vice Chair

Technology Ecosystem for the Factory of the Future. How do we get individual technology building blocks to meaningfully work together to enable the factory of the future?

Shop floor environments employ a variety of technologies involving Ethernet protocols as well as new developments such as digital twins with interoperable data models, cloud computing applying the OPC Foundation standards, and real-time Ethernet capabilities in time-sensitive networks. This panel will shed light on how 5G-ACIA is meaningfully applying Industrial 5G to all of them.
This panel will begin with a concise presentation on the 5G-ACIA global partner network by Sylvia Lu of u-blox, who chairs our Working Group 4, and speakers of two key technologies for the horizontal and vertical shopfloor integration of Industrial 5G.
