– from parts to product – as they move through their facilities .
“ This is traditionally achieved through location and event data and other telemetry that flows from a range of sensors and factory systems ,” said Sandhu . “ But Private 5G is bringing new levels of speed and precision to asset tracking , system monitoring and real-time schedule and process optimisation .”
Similarly , Private 5G is solving old pain-points for those in the industry .
For example , using it in manufacturing facilities helps to avoid Wi-Fi accesspoint proliferation and blind spots when tracking assets .
“ Manufacturers are even able to utilise Private 5G when changing or setting up new production lines – a process that traditionally has taken months , or even longer , due to connectivity profiles for all connected devices and systems needing to be reconfigured .
“ This is because Private 5G can support the auto discoverability of devices at scale and apply automatic or templated configurations to activate reconfigured networks and devices so that manufacturers can accommodate mass customisation or personalisation .”
Edge computing refers to the processing of data with applications at or near the edge of a network in a range of devices .
