Create agile, resilient and sustainable industrial operations

5G: Edge-to-Cloud

  • Provide low-latency connectivity, enabling real-time data transmission between edge devices and the cloud.
  • Offer increased bandwidth and capacity, allowing for seamless scaling of edge-to-cloud deployments.
  • Provide higher levels of reliability and network resilience, reducing downtime and improving service availability.
  • Edge-to-cloud connectivity with 5G allows businesses to implement robust security measures at both the edge and the cloud.

5G: The Connected Worker

  • Provide high-speed, low-latency, and reliable connectivity for AR/VR devices and applications.
  • The combination of 5G with AR and VR enables immersive and interactive training experiences for workers.
  • 5G enables connected workers to view dashboards, analytics, digital twins, and other FactoryTalk-based solutions on a tablet or smartphone in real-time.
  • Technicians can access digital overlays, instructions, real-time data and connect with experts for real-time support while performing maintenance and repairs.
  • Connected workers can view live video feeds from remote locations and overlay digital annotations, checklists, or guidelines onto their view for additional context to their tasks.

5G: Untethered Stationary Assets

  • Private 5G networks provide high-speed, low-latency, fast roaming and reliable connectivity, helping to enable seamless operation of AGVs and AMRs in complex industrial environments.
  • By using dedicated wireless spectrum and optimizing bandwidth usage among applications, private 5G network provides uninterrupted and prioritized connectivity to AGVs and AMRs.
  • Private 5G networks offer increased capacity and coverage to support a many AGVs and AMRs simultaneously in a large geographical area.

Explore the future of industrial connectivity with our Connected Enterprise Lab

We're investing in an advanced wireless lab to support our customers who might lack the resources to develop their own. This initiative will allow for Proof of Concept with our customers to test potential designs before trying to implement on the floor, helping to ensure the products we bring to market are fully functional and effective.

We are focused on general network wireless connectivity with both Private 5G cellular and Wi-Fi. We are testing specific OT use cases and understanding the design expectations of IT. We will be testing with OTTO 100AMR, ASEM 6300B and 6300PA, alongside several partner products.
