  • The challenge

    Increasing efficiency in manufacturing

Manufacturing plants prioritize continuous improvement by increasing efficiency and reducing waste. Having more efficient systems to monitor production-line performance helps achieve that goal. 

By using predictive maintenance and a cohesion of processes, manufacturers can significantly reduce downtime and improve productivity.

  • Smart manufacturing is projected to account for 22 billion connections worldwide by 2025. (Currently, there are 17.7 billion industrial IoT connections.)

  • Aging machines and shorter business life cycles

    Manufacturing companies are under enormous pressure to keep up with increasingly shorter business and product life cycles. In addition, machines are continually aging and becoming more expensive to maintain.

  • Private 5G opportunities

    Private 5G-enabled manufacturing analytics

Private 5G can support the numerous connected devices used to monitor various manufacturing processes.

Private 5G Network can handle the massive volume of data needed for accurate analysis in large-scale manufacturing operations.

Private 5G’s low latency can capture near real-time insight into manufacturing operations.

Manufacturers can use their analysis of captured data to optimize operations and make more educated decisions.

How it works

    • Private 5G-powered manufacturing could increase efficiency and reduce downtime.

      • An active production line has many cameras and IoT sensors. The cameras check for quality and the sensors monitor the condition of the equipment.

      • Private 5G can support the massive number of sensors used in manufacturing facilities, helping manufacturers know when something is broken or needs to be replaced soon.

      • Connected cameras could use computer vision to check the tolerances and flaws of the units and note where in the process those flaws are occurring and how often.
      • Connected cameras could transmit data to edge computing servers, potentially using ultra-low latency to rapidly respond to flaws in units and improve quality.

      • In this way, the process changes, helping to reduce flaws and produce more units.
      • The production line can integrate insights and adjust the production process. This helps things flow rather than experience costly downtime and defective units.
