The power of data and connectivity

Data: the key to smart factory success

Data collection is vital for real-time adjustments, process control, and quality assurance in modern manufacturing. Every tool reading and production log helps identify patterns, bottlenecks, and optimize production.

Connectivity: the backbone of smart factories

More and more data is collected every day in production environments, and assembly systems are getting smarter and more integrated. To ensure that these systems run smoothly, and data is not lost along the way, reliable and consistent connectivity is key to unlock the true potential.

Overcoming Traditional Connectivity Challenges

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth provide good connectivity for most applications and are a solid choice for most assembly environments. However, complex manufacturing environments with integrated systems and vast spaces often face challenges like limited mobility, interference from machinery, and security risks.

Limited Mobility & Coverage

Bluetooth offers a limited range, restricting mobility to small areas. While Wi-Fi offers broader coverage, it struggles with seamless mobility and connection interruptions while moving between access points.

Interference & Security

Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are prone to interference from electronic equipment, machinery, and large metal structures. Moreover, such networks may pose a risk of unauthorized access and data breaches if not maintained securely.

Latency & Scalability

Delays in communication impact real-time control, productivity and safety-critical processes. Managing a growing number of connected devices becomes complex and costly, while communication quality degrades as tool density increases.

How 5G Transforms Smart Factories

Designed for unparalleled mobility and flexibility, 5G technology delivers a transformative solution for reliable and secure connectivity on the factory floor. Manufacturers can install a private 5G network, independent of public telecom networks, which allows them to harness the full power of the 5G technology and ensures a secure connection with low interference, low latency, and wide coverage indoors and outdoors.
