Manufacturing
Helping enterprise world on its digital transformation
To remain productive and competitive, manufacturers and facility managers have fully embraced digitalization of the factory.
Existing networks in production environments use fixed cabling or Wi-Fi which are proving to be either inflexible, inappropriate or unreliable.
Thus, adoption of Industries 4.0 business models (sensor data monitoring, location and tracking, robotics, self-driving or autonomous guided vehicles, augmented reality, connected workers and more) requires implementing a digital-transformation strategy.
Helping enterprise world on its digital transformation
Main challenges
A lot of manufacturing premises are (based) in remote rural areas which are not supported by public mobile networks
Wi-Fi is not designed to cover large factories with warehouses, outdoor areas, construction sites, etc.
Wi-Fi can’t connect large numbers of devices and it can’t be used for critical communications.
Flexible production lines, robots, automatic guided vehicles and drones need wireless connections, but with power and stability that Wi-Fi doesn’t have
Worker safety and protection, operational efficiency and workforce management through locating and tracking people, etc, are all business-critical assets
how we solve them
We provide a 5G and LTE mobile platform for private networks, enabling Industry 4.0 and Robotics, bringing to small and medium factories better efficiency and connecting more devices than ever before.
Moreover, private 5G:
enables use cases for which there was no solution before in a square km environment (driverless track, logistics, monitoring)
assure coverage of every corner of a factory
creates value by freeing humans from complicated tasks
connects people and things in a more secure way
enables the pervasive video streaming world (security, monitoring, problem solving)
increases productivity
