Smartphone users as well as industrial companies are looking forward to the advent of the new 5G wireless mobile standard, thanks to which companies will be able to connect their machines and thus make their production plants and intralogistics operations more efficient, more autonomous, and more flexible than ever before.
Industrie 4.0, the smart factory, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) – these are the future of industrial manufacturing. Designing production plants and intralogistics to be more flexible, autonomous, and efficient requires the right communication framework and comprehensive connectivity. The new 5G communication standard opens up important new prospects. It will initially have a data speed of between one and 5 gigabits per second, subsequently increasing to 20 gigabits per second – a quantum leap that will make it between 10 and 20 times faster than the system’s predecessor, LTE.

Eckard Eberle about the advantages of Industrial 5G
"5G networks will open doors for industry on its journey to Industrie 4.0 and digitalization. Featuring excellent reliability and low latency as well as comprehensive IIoT connectivity, 5G is essential for trendsetting applications in industrial environments. This includes mobile applications in manufacturing as well as autonomous vehicles in logistics, IIoT, AR and VR applications. An all-encompassing network offering wireless connection to control an entire industrial plant – extremely reliable, with high availability and an extremely high bandwidth."
