    Summary

    Evaluating private 5G use cases in a modern digitized factory requires a strategic assessment of key performance indicators (KPIs) and business goals with an eye towards process and worker impact.  By providing a secure, reliable, and high-performance wireless infrastructure, private cellular is a key enabler of Industry 4.0. The technology’s ultra-low latency, expanded coverage and high-capacity connectivity support mission-critical applications such as industrial automation (AMR's and AGV's), predictive maintenance, asset health and quality assurance/ video analytics, all of which require deterministic performance. Furthermore, private cellular activates connected worker services so that the most valuable asset in a plant - the people - are empowered with digital tools to drive improved effectiveness, efficiency, engagement and collaboration. 

    This session will explore the rapidly expanding 5G device ecosystem and its ability to meet a wide range of operating needs and use cases.
