The unified solution developed in stic5G will help to increase the connectivity in industrial environments for employees, machines and tools in indoor as well as outdoor scenarios, by combining hybrid wired and wireless networks to realize more efficient and flexible production processes. However, such networks also come with various requirements such as scalability with regards to high numbers of (simultaneous) users, a high cumulative bandwidth and the ability to connect with operation technology (OT) networks.
Use Cases
- Machine connectivity assembly lines in industry, such as the ones for airplanes
- Seamless connection of AGVs (automated guided vehicles) using 5G-TSN campus networks and with the given requirements of low latencies for large manufacturing sites
