The 3rd 5G-ACIA Web Seminar series focuses on testing of Industrial 5G. The first Web Seminar will give an overview on 5G-ACIA’s perspective on testing and explains what 5G-ACIA’s testbed endorsement is all about. In this context, testing types as selected in the White Paper (Selected Testing and Validation Considerations for Industrial Communication with 5G Technologies) are discussed taking a closer look at performance testing as presented in White Paper (Performance Testing of 5G Systems for Industrial Automation) and certification in 5G-ACIA.
The following Web Seminar sessions are dedicated to the 5G-ACIA endorsed testbeds. Following the call for 5G testbeds from Autumn 2020, fourteen 5G-ACIA members and two non-5G-ACIA members collaborated creating seven unique testbeds up to now. Testbed members will present their use case, their 5G solution and – if the testbed is already mature – first results.
Industrial Robotics fueled by 5G: the 5G-SMART Testbed in Kista
Dr. Ognjen Dobrijevic (ABB), Peter de Bruin (Ericsson)
Wireless connectivity is paving way for future manufacturing, in which production flexibility is boosted, the number of mobile assets is increased, and new ways of human workers interacting with industrial robots are enabled. The incentives for off-loading robot control to edge platforms, coupled with requirements on high-reliability and bounded-latency communication, make 5G a leading candidate. In this webinar we present use cases developed for the 5G-SMART Testbed at the Ericsson Kista Smart Factory. The use cases combine human-robot interaction, robot collaboration, and machine vision with 5G and edge computing. Insights from the work will be provided, including expected 5G benefits.
5G-Industry Campus Europe – Research Infrastructure for 5G in Production
Niels König (Fraunhofer IPT), Bart Mellaerts (Ericsson)
The 5G-Industry Campus Europe is one of the 5G model regions of the German government and Europe’s largest industrial testbed for 5G in production. In the 5G-ACIA endorsed testbed we are investigating different solutions for process monitoring in manufacturing.
The webinar will introduce the 5G infrastructure followed by explanation and live demonstration of 5G use cases with different wireless sensors. With the help of the solutions introduced in the webinar, industrial users are able to have greater flexibility and control over their manufacturing processes.
