Abstract: Wireless communication, and 5G in particular, is essential for the Smart Factory and more generally for Industry 4.0, since it enables seamless, pervasive, and scalable connectivity among machines, people, and sensors and with mobile entities such as mobile robots, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and drones. In many cases, 5G also makes it possible to reduce or even eliminate cables from stationary, rotating, and other objects with limited mobility. In this panel discussion, the general chairs of the 5G-Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation (5G-ACIA) insightfully describe where we are now on the road to Industrial 5G. | Abstract: Support for industrial-grade communication service is a basic requirement for deterministic communication in complex I4.0 production systems. Distributed industrial applications depend on the underlying communication system to provide capabilities that meet the corresponding requirements. Industrial 5G is designed with such capabilities for industrial applications in both discrete manufacturing and the process industry. The 5G-Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation (5G-ACIA) is the globally Leading organization for shaping Industrial 5G. This presentation goes into depth on the latest developments in Industrial 5G, covering the concept of non-public networks (also call private networks), 5G supports quality of service (QoS), and techniques for integrating 5G on the shop floor, e.g. TSN and digital twins. | Abstract: While consumer 5G has already been rolled out globally, Industrial 5G is still in the early adoption stage, especially for demanding industrial automation applications. Join this session to hear industry experts’ latest insights on the challenges and opportunities of Industrial 5G going forward. The panel consists of experts who represent the emerging Industrial 5G ecosystem. They will provide exciting insights into the key activities from their associations and forums, timelines, and experience fostering the wider market adoption of Industrial 5G. The success of Industrial 5G depends on close cooperation across domains, and especially on tackling the key challenges for integrating Industrial 5G along the legacy industry value chain. The panel will also shed light on how Industrial 5G capabilities can decisively digitize the factories of the future and accelerate the implementation of Industry 4.0. |
