Manufacturing

Available in English Português

As manufacturers modernize their operations, the need for the right connectivity has never been more critical. Data transformation in manufacturing starts with a unified connectivity platform that seamlessly integrates your existing digital assets to enable new technologies. At the heart of this transformation is 5G connectivity, delivering scalable, flexible solutions that harness massive amounts of data generated by Industrial IoT devices.

To maximize investments in autonomous things, Industrial IoT and advanced analytics, manufacturers must adopt a strategic view, particularly around connectivity solutions that enable the smart factory journey. In many cases, traditional networks often lack the power and flexibility to meet today’s demands, which will limit future growth, hyperautomation and agility expected in today’s smart factory. Alternatively, advanced connectivity solutions, such as private 5G networks, are crucial for driving success and accelerating impact.

Smart factories are no longer a future consideration for manufacturers—they are a present reality. Truly transformative applications, including full automation, depend on continuous, high-quality data and real-time responsiveness. Ericsson solutions, including private 5G networks, facilitate top-of-mind priorities to propel factories into the Industry 4.0 era. The high-speed, enhanced security and low-latency of 5G makes it the key enabler of digital transformation—addressing the needs of today as well as what’s required for tomorrow.

Accelerate smart factory hyperautomation through the power of 5G

5G’s faster data speeds, higher bandwidth, and ultra-low latency enable seamless communication paths for AMRs, smart robots, drones and more. 5G serves as a unified solution for managing autonomous devices throughout a facility—allowing IT teams to deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot devices regardless of location and without capacity limitations. And with edge computing, 5G allows real-time processing of high-definition data, enabling autonomous devices to operate and make decisions with no delay.

Unlock smart factory process optimization with Industrial IoT and 5G

5G offers the reliable, low-latency connectivity that IIoT devices require for smooth operation in factory settings. Unlike Wi-Fi, 5G avoids interference and offers greater range, ensuring consistent, high-quality connections. It also keeps sensitive data on-site, bolstering security by reducing the vulnerability of transmitting data over larger distances.
