Manufacturing is poised to begin experiencing significant benefits from 5GUnleash the full potential for your business
5G, the fifth generation of cellular wireless technology, is poised to begin helping transform
the way the manufacturing industry operates. Through unprecedented speed, low latency,
and bandwidth capacity, 5G using millimeter wave spectrum (5G+) can enable manufacturers
do more with the mega expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT), as well as collect more data,
and compute more information faster to make better business decisions. It can also be a
catalyst for your own innovation—both in the creation and quality of products, and in how
these products are delivered into the supply chain.

The 5G revolution will bring:
Because manufacturing plays such a key role in in the global economy, every manufacturer
has the potential to impact companies in other industries, such as transportation, retail,
healthcare, and many others. Since 5G will eventually help make it possible for companies
to adopt new and emerging technologies – including advanced robotics, vision systems,
augmented reality (AR), and artificial intelligence (AI), it can help you to achieve enhanced
efficiency and reliability to manufacture the products your partners, customers, and clients
depend on.

Addressing Wi-Fi Capacity Limitations
From IoT and numerous other sources, you get data. Lots of data. This is great for the digitally transforming
factory, however, the data generated and the increased number of computations per microsecond challenges
the limits of what Wi-Fi® was designed for.
In order for the factory to adopt a digital transformation strategy, it’s necessary for the network that supports
it to keep pace with the technology that depends on it. The technologies of Network Edge Computing (NEC)
and Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) offer the interim step to 5G and address Wi-Fi capacity limitations that
inhibit manufacturers from optimizing operations, addressing workforce challenges, and providing more reliable
service to customers and the supply chain.
What’s possible in manufacturing with 5G?Of the many benefits, let’s focus on 8.

Intelligent infrastructure

As manufacturers adopt an intelligent infrastructure—one that uses machine learning, prediction, analysis, and
self-correction to operate—5G will support smarter integration and analysis of the data that’s generated by
sensors. With so many interconnected technologies and endpoints (including robotics, mobility, and field-related
applications), you need highly reliable—and highly secure—compute power to process the large blocks of data.
5G will help provide the highly secure foundation to efficiently move data out of corporate silos while also
helping to ensure it stays safely within the walls of the facility. This goes beyond the mega expansion of IoT
and into implementing smarter integration and analysis of data that’s generated by sensors. With so many
interconnected technologies that are dependent upon these and other endpoints - including that generated
through robotics, mobility, and field-related applications, an increased level of reliability for the large blocks of
data that must be transferred is required. 5G will ultimately provide the power and consistency needed for the
intelligent infrastructure to breathe a new level of life into the possibilities manufacturers can explore to produce
new products, services, and realize greater operational efficiencies.

AVP Industry Solutions - Manufacturing and Transportation, AT&T
Business
DAVID VAN DORSELAER
“The pace of technology innovation is so high, with so
many advances—cloud, IoT, AR/VR, software-defined networking—
that manufacturers are struggling with how to bring all of it
together.”
8
For the successful adoption and sustainability of
augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), which
is also known as mixed reality or spatial computing
when used together, both edge computing and a
highly secure 5G network are critical.
5G will eventually enable manufacturers to achieve
new levels of factory optimization through AR and
VR. These technologies can display overlays to help
to guide workers through production steps for
intricate assembly processes. They can also help
train new employees and potentially shorten their
learning curve. In addition, manufacturers can direct
operators located in the field and across the through
repair procedures, potentially reducing the costs of
dispatched or third-party labor.
Other uses for these technologies in manufacturing
include:
• Remote worker assistance
• Inspection and final approval
• Navigating complex processes through voice commands
• The picking process in shipping and receiving
The possibilities for AR/VR and Spatial Computing continue to grow and 5G will provide the foundation in its next evolution.
Augmented and virtual reality

By using AR, a major aircraft manufacturer reduced the production
time of complex assembly wiring by 25% and cut error rates to almost zero.
10
The precise tolerances needed in manufacturing can be protected both by metrology and non-contact metrology. The data from this technology can reside at the edge of a network that can also carry the demand for consistent measurements and big data analytics that are required in near-real time. 5G with MEC is a reliable solution that can also help facilitate the integration of related applications and processes. In addition, 5G-enabled video-as-a-sensor technology supports—
• Near-real-time situational awareness
• People counters
• Safety protocols
• Point-of-entry security
• Foreign object debris detection
• Autonomous material handling
• Temperature monitoring
5G will enable virtually seamless streaming so you can simultaneously use this data-intense application in more places throughout the factory. This can eventually translate into higher integrity alerts and faster response times.
Metrology/non-contact metrology and video as a sensor
“Integrating video-based technology with IoT adds another layer of analytics
to industrial manufacturing. Manufacturers can improve safety protocols with more sensitivity and insight into
anomaly detection that can help reduce defects, improve efficiency, and
reduce costs.”
11
Autonomous-guided vehicles (AGVs) that move through a factory floor, yard, or warehouse calculate billions of
bits of data to process instructions and make intelligent decisions to navigate safely. With such heavy demand
on the network, Wi-Fi alone can’t deliver the reliability, bandwidth, or support required for virtually seamless
performance. 5G eventually will.
MEC can provide the foundation for data to flow from the edge of the network where it’s more easily accessible
for prioritized processes. Coupled with 5G to handle the volume of data from sensors, endpoints, and other
sources, AGVs will ultimately be able to communicate with their interface to avoid collisions, help avoid mistakes,
and carry out their assignments.
Autonomous-guided vehicles
“The top trigger for manufacturers to adopt industrial mobility technologies (i.e., from mobile robots to autonomous trucks)
is cost advantage (86%) followed by customer/supply expectations (47%) and increased safety (38%)”

Digital twin technology
Digital twin technology can give you a
view into the most complex machines. In
factory floor and operations planning, digital
twins help engineers design layout and
flow before making costly installations and
changes. In both of these scenarios, as well
as others where this technology is used in
manufacturing, 5G will eventually offer the
capacity to integrate physical and virtual
assets for tremendous, cost-saving flexibility.

“Digital twin technology
enabled with the capabilities of 5G and MEC can really help our
customers achieve their operational efficiency and productivity goals. Deeper
insights into machine performance by remote AR, scenarios for flexible plant
floor production lines, and virtual commissioning are some of the newer
applications that customers are leveraging with this enhancing
capability.”HUGH ARIF

Cost savings
Manufacturers will use 5G in collaboration with LTE and Wi-Fi to bring the level of flexibility both in operations
and investment priorities in their facilities. By migrating areas of their business from wired to wireless, they can
reduce the number of required access points, realize a significant reduction in investment, and experience relief
on network bandwidth as prioritized data is moved to MEC and 5G. And while greenfield facilities can experience
these benefits from day one, brownfield facilities can migrate to 5G in a modular fashion based upon business
priorities.

Manufacturers that implement 5G in multiple facilities may see their capabilities and potential multiply. As
5G continues to expand across the globe, it will have a ripple effect throughout the supply chain. New levels
of efficiency can connect partners in transportation, retail, healthcare, and other industries. All who rely on
manufacturing to provide quality goods to customers and clients can benefit from manufacturing facilities

This is the factory of the futureAT&T and Samsung collaborate to discover new use cases for 5G in manufacturing
In June 2019, AT&T Business, Samsung Austin Semiconductor, and Samsung Electronics America unveiled the
first manufacturing-focused 5G Innovation Zone in America.
The research space explores using 5G in combination with LTE and Wi-Fi to illustrate key use cases. The testing
helps demonstrate how the unprecedented bandwidth, speed, and low latency of 5G using millimeter wave (5G+)
extends operational possibilities in the manufacturing industry.
Applications being tested include health and environmental sensors, automated material handling, industrial IoT
and robotics, and mixed reality for training employees. The project will expand to address other challenges in the
manufacturing industry and examine additional ways that 5G will benefit manufacturers in building the factory
of the future.
