The Opportunity For URLLC In Industrial Manufacturing

Sponsored by Intel

The industrial manufacturing sector is undergoing a massive transformation, driven by the imminent needs to lower operating and capital costs while enhancing overall productivity and operational efficiency. These needs are pushing the industry to implement more automated systems to better handle operation processes, infrastructure maintenance, and yield management.

5G could potentially be used as a key tool to accelerate this industrial transformation but only if telcos can address the multitude of requirements that are essential to accommodate industrial applications. These requirements are different in nature from what telcos are used to so far as they are not just related to network efficiency and spectral performance (e.g. high bandwidth and low latency) but also deterministic enough to ensure reliability and guaranteed operations for all front-end and back-end processes – while being flexible enough to interoperate with legacy operation processes.
