In this final part, we’re looking at how you can build the factory of the future with a 5G private network.

Our latest blog post series explores how 5G private networks are revolutionising industries—with increased performance, flexibility, reliability, and security enabling autonomous vehicles, digital twins, and the factory of the future.

We’re kicking things off with a look at how autonomous vehicles are shaking up industries.

Autonomous vehicles are set to transform more than just roads

Autonomous and remotely driven vehicles are transforming labour-intensive industries such as agriculture, mining, construction, and manufacturing. And they’re making it safer for people working in these environments.

How 5G private networks enable the factory of the future 

We’ve already explored how manufacturers can use the seamless connectivity of 5G to elevate efficiency and productivity, while adapting fast to the shifting demands of the post-COVID world.  

But how else can private networks overcome traditional barriers to enable the factory of the future? 

How manufacturers can use 5G to accelerate their path to Industry 4.0 

Rising consumer confidence, increasing supply chain costs and the surge in demand for products and services, together with a renewed focus on sustainability, mean today’s manufacturers need new, innovative production methods if they want to hit the ground running in the post-COVID world. 

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been quietly making waves in a number of key sectors for years but as digital transformation projects continue to gather pace the impact of IoT will be realised on an even wider scale. Gartner expects there will be 25 billion IoT devices by the end of 2021.  

Private networks are fast becoming synonymous with enabling digital advancement, particularly in sectors with large campuses that have struggled to find a connectivity solution they can rely on. In our latest infographic we highlight some key ways in which organisations are making the most of their private networks.

Private networks, and increasingly 5G private networks, are the powerful backbone behind digital transformation in some of the world's largest industrial companies. With low latency, high availability and broad coverage, 5G is fuelling the move towards automation. It’s also helping these companies to embrace the new industrial revolution and implement advanced technologies on their very own networks, throughout their extensive campus environments.

Today's ports are facing mounting challenges. The rise of the megaship with its massively increased container capacity and sheer size has created bottlenecks in ports all over the world with vessels regularly experiencing longer waiting times. As megaships become more prevalent and global trade continues to ramp up, ports are turning to technology to streamline operations and speed up the unloading and loading process.
