The session explores 5G communications within the manufacturing sector – what the technology is all about and how it can benefit UK industry.
As fifth generation mobile data technology becomes more deeply embedded, its impact on manufacturing infrastructure will be ever greater.
But how will this shape the future of manufacturing?
Increased flexibility, efficiency and responsiveness will bring quicker and more autonomous reactions to supply and demand on the production line. Safety will be enhanced and the speed of innovation increased. In the office space, faster data transfer will bring opportunities for more immersive experiences, more creative ways to engage with shopfloor staff and bring remote teams together.
