We are in the middle of the fourth industrial revolution, that was kickstarted by a combination of emerging technologies, such as machine learning and IoT connected devices.

In manufacturing, numerous data-intensive machines are often used within close proximity. This is why 5G connectivity is so crucial. In a market reliant on data-intensive machine applications, the higher speeds and low latency of 5G are required for effective use of automatic robots, wearables, and virtual reality (VR) headsets, and shape the future of smart factories.

5G uses higher radio frequencies to achieve speeds up to 1,000 times faster than its predecessor, 4G. This is the reason why 5G will help to establish the Internet of Things (IoT). As in other sectors, IoT and industrial IoT (IIoT) endeavors in manufacturing are made possible by wireless connectivity and the technologies that support it.

On the other hand, 5G and AI are mutual enablers. 5G provides the infrastructure and massive amounts of data required for successful AI. While AI, driven by advances in machine learning, provides the ability to make sense of the chaos and complexity of 5G.

In this Diving Session we will go deep into the 5G solutions that will enable IoT and AI in our industry.

Aimed at:

Technicians and Innovation Directors of companies
Researchers of R+D centers
