Market dynamics
1 factors across 1 forceRapid Adoption of Industry 4.0 Philosophy to Offer Growth Opportunities for the 5G Infrastructure Market
Industry 4.0, also known as the “Fourth Industrial Revolution,” focuses on transforming the industrial management system and business process using advanced technologies, including AI, IoT, edge computing, 5G, and robotics. Deploying cutting-edge technologies such as IoT, artificial intelligence, 5G, and augmented and virtual reality helps increase product functionality, generate additional value for customers, and provide manufacturers with data needed to better manage complex production cycles.
Several manufacturing industries are adopting advanced technologies, including IoT technology, to enhance product quality and equipment reliability. For instance, in February 2021, Nexans (France) partnered with Schneider Electric (France) on a digital transformation program for Industrial 4.0. This partnership accelerates factories' digitalization, improves production lines' efficiency, enables predictive maintenance, and reduces carbon emissions. However, several industries can still not utilize the full potential of these technologies due to high latency issues. These connected devices rely on cellular networks that can create high latency due to vast data transfer that can slow the process rate.
Manufacturers are incorporating low-latency IoT devices with 5G technology to resolve this issue. The 5G infrastructure offers ultra-low latency to provide an advanced user experience with its fast data transmission features, boosting its demand across mission-critical applications. It allows ultra-reliable communication with low latency for vehicle-to-vehicle communication in crowded urban areas and high-speed scenarios. Thus, 5G infrastructure offers ultra-low latency for the connected devices in industry 4.0 applications, fueling the demand for 5G infrastructure.
