Industrial automation has never been achieved without connectivity, but today, the requirements of smart factories demand faster, more reliable, and more secure than ever before. Here is where 5G and private networks enter, a new era of ultra-low latency, high-bandwidth communication that changes the way machines, people, and systems communicate.
5G introduces paradigm change in industry. Latency is cut down to the milliseconds and a factory can now have thousands of devices per square kilometer without a choke point. Industries are one step ahead of this with private 5G networks offering them unique and secure connectivity and that of their operations. It implies increased control, higher reliability, and enhanced privacy of the data- which is critical in industries that handle sensitive operations and competitive intellectual property.
We are also incorporating 5G and private networks into the automation solutions we provide at Mendygo to unlock their potential. MendyOps uses 5G to automate utility in real-time, and to enable smooth communication among distributed assets. MendyLive uses private networks to ensure that digital twins can remain up to date with live data streams. In the meantime, Smart OEE and MendyAI embrace the speed of 5G to provide meaningful operational insights, predictive analytics, and good-better-best decision-making to operators in the field.
The effects of automation enabled 5G can now be seen in industries. At automotive facilities, autonomous guided vehicles transport materials with near-zero latitude, making them more efficient on the assembly floor. Pharma plants are deploying 5G to provide real-time quality control, and vision cameras will identify faults the moment they occur. Energy suppliers are turning to private networks to ensure grid monitoring systems to enhance resilience and cybersecurity.
It is not only 5G+privacy networks that offer faster connectivity, but a combination of the two can unlock the possibility of a factory of the future that is truly autonomous, flexible and safe. This technology will be the base of resilience, agility, and competitiveness as industries transition to Industry 5.0. In Mendygo, we are working on solutions that would allow industries to take this next frontier with confidence.
