The fourth stage of the industrial revolution, also known as smart manufacturing, heralds an entirely new era. It’s goal is to significantly improve the flexibility, versatility, usability and efficiency of production systems and

to make the vision of smart factories come true. In this context, wireless communication – in particular 5G – is a key enabler. It provides powerful and pervasive communication between machines, people and objects.

5G-ACIA’s mission is to ensure the best possible application of 5G technology and of 5G networks for the industrial domain.

 

Workshop attendees will learn how 5G-ACIA is working to influence 5G capabilities in order to better support industrial automation use cases and to effectively meet the needs of discrete and process manufacturing –

including 5G integration, testing and validation.
