Spotlight: 5G & Manufacturing
5G will usher in a new wave of connected solutions that will strengthen the manufacturing sector. Over a 5G network, a manufacturing facility will be able to connect every machine, device and moving part and relay that data in real time to drive greater flexibility and efficiency in production lines and help employees make more informed decisions on the job.
A perfect example of 5G-enabled technology that is being used in U.S. smart factories today to enhance manufacturing is augmented reality (AR). The higher throughput and low latency of 5G allows a company to use augmented reality as a way to relay real-time information or overlay technical guidelines on a machine or product that is being worked on. Using AR, factory workers are able to collaborate with colleagues in other manufacturing locations and tap into offsite expertise to more easily solve problems, save time and cut costs.
