Summary

For modern manufacturing to achieve smarter, more agile operations, a critical challenge persists: precisely and reliably locating every device, tool, machine and person within their complex indoor environments. While various indoor location technologies exist, many face significant barriers to widespread adoption in industrial settings.

Private 5G cellular is emerging as the robust, long-term answer: unlocking high-precision visibility with inherent efficiency. By leveraging the inherent capabilities of a private 5G network, manufacturers can achieve meter-to-sub-meter accuracy for assets, equipment and personnel. This approach offers remarkable flexibility because it can seamlessly complement existing infrastructure by enhancing specific areas or serve as the foundational backbone for entirely new, modernized industrial deployments.

In this session, experts from Ericsson will discuss why 5G indoor precise positioning is a game-changer for manufacturing. They’ll also share how this technology works and highlight some of the key use cases that manufacturers can take advantage of.

• Understand how 5G precise indoor positioning differs from other positioning solutions like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth beacons or Ultra-Wideband (UWB) systems.
• Learn how 5G precise indoor positioning works and the advantages of using private 5G networks.
• Explore key use cases for 5G precise indoor positioning such as asset tracking, process optimization, predictive maintenance, digital twin integration, and smart building integration.
