5G to drive performance in the industry

Smart Cities and high-speed: the multiple applications of 5G

Connected objects like robots are increasingly present in the industry sector. As an extension of the human being, they free him from non-value-added or tedious tasks, save time, increase efficiency and safety, and improve the maintenance of infrastructures and equipment.

In practice, 5G significantly accelerates the deployment and customization of robotics in industry due to its complete connectivity independence from a local network, its high and fast throughput, and its low latency. High performance allows humans to securely take control of their robots and program a robot fleet directly. But it also allows for the acquisition of a significant amount of real-time data, fostering the widespread adoption of new applications: autonomous vehicles, real-time remote inventory management, predictive maintenance of certain production units, digital twins, and more.

In industry, 5G is the common link in many developments:

• Combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI), 5G enables machines to become self-learning and therefore increasingly efficient and precise.
• Combined with the Cloud or Edge computing, 5G helps manufacturers better leverage their data by enabling instant transmission. It is this technology that enables ultra-precise production monitoring, remote machine control, and better resource and incident management thanks to connected sensors.
• Combined with a digital twin platform, 5G can optimize industrial production and improve performance through digital graphic representation. Industrial robots, augmented technicians, intelligent guided vehicles, drones… Thanks to 5G, the manufacturing sector is taking a new turn! The use of autonomous trucks and augmented reality (among other things) is even directly influencing how manufacturers will be able to design and maintain factories in the future.

5G is already revolutionizing industry

Smart Cities and high-speed: the multiple applications of 5G

5G, the fifth generation of mobile networks, is a revolutionary technology that promises to transform many sectors, including industry. This new generation of wireless communications offers higher data rates, reduced latency, and superior simultaneous connection capacity. A 5G antenna can support many more user connections at the same time. Work on 5G began several years ago, and this year marks a major milestone in its deployment.

The applications of 5G in industry are numerous and varied. We anticipate using this technology to enhance communications within industrial sites, facilitate real-time monitoring of operations, and optimize manufacturing processes. A glance at ongoing experiments reveals the full potential of this technology. Pilot projects already completed show the significant advantages that companies can gain by integrating 5G into their strategic plans.

For example, smart cities can use 5G to ensure the proper functioning of urban infrastructures such as street lighting, transportation systems, and water networks, thereby improving the quality of life for residents.

One of the main advantages of 5G is its ability to provide high data rates, allowing for fast and smooth data exchanges. IoT (Internet of Things) devices in industrial environments can communicate more effectively, enhancing productivity and task automation. Augmented and virtual reality applications, which require high bandwidth, can also leverage 5G to offer increasingly immersive experiences.

In the near future, 5G will be ubiquitous in the industrial world. Orange is investing heavily in the deployment of this technology, and the initial results are promising. Work continues to expand coverage and improve 5G performance so that all industry players can benefit.

However, widespread adoption of 5G in industry will not happen overnight. Patience is required, as companies must adapt their infrastructures and processes to fully leverage the advantages of this technology. As an operator, we have a key role to play in supporting companies through this transition, offering tailored services and working closely with industry stakeholders.

In conclusion, 5G opens new perspectives for industry. This cutting-edge technology offers unmatched communication speeds, reliable connectivity, and the capacity to support advanced applications. Companies that seize this opportunity and integrate 5G into their strategic plans will gain a competitive advantage in the global market. It is certain that 5G is the thread that will propel industry toward a more connected and efficient future. Yet, we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg; it is difficult to imagine how far 5G will take us tomorrow. Whether in healthcare, transportation, industry, entertainment, or other fields, 5G is transforming the way we work, play, and interact with the world around us.
