The benefits of a 5G-enabled smart factory
The following are the benefits of using 5G in a smart factory:
- With 5G, more smart sensors and smart devices can be connected to the internet, boosting IoT capacity. This leads to a massively connected factory.
- 5G enables staff using AR/VR headsets to move freely on the factory floor and stay connected to the private 5G network. A 5G network can provide the high-speed requirement for AR/VR to function effectively.
- 5G enables staff to monitor machine performance, analyze production processes, and share that information between various smart factory locations for proper decision-making and planning. A 5G network enables large amounts of data to be analyzed at high speed.
- Robots are used extensively in industries to move products, and some are also designed to work alongside humans. Most of these industrial robots are powered by a wired network connection because the current wireless speed is not good enough to make them perform...
