| Unlocking Value with 5G for Manufacturing |
| In today's global environment, manufacturers continue to provide more value at lower costs to their customers. Their competitive advantages come from understanding the real-time manufacturing data, making changes, and shifting as needed. This has been made possible with the proliferation of IIoT; however, to scale it technologies like 5G need to be leveraged as the number and complexity of devices increase. As the National Center for Digital Manufacturing and Cybersecurity, MxD (Manufacturing times digital) has taken on the challenge to help demystify and demonstrate how manufacturers can leverage 5G. The MxD 5G Program is a ~$5M effort administered under a cooperative agreement with the US Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ARMY CERL). The MxD 5G Program is focused on advancing connectivity modernization within the manufacturing sector. This program seeks to accomplish this by establishing a methodology to investigate and test the various types of 5G cellular architecture, 5G cybersecurity, and IOT applications of 5G wireless technology to determine the appropriate configurations for use in industrial facilities. The 5G system will also serve as an ongoing testbed for industry and DoD for additional use cases in the future. The program will cover 5G System Configuration Research for Industrial Facilities to High-Speed Encryption 5G Integration Evaluation. This presentation will provide an overview of the 5G program and provide the ongoing efforts in this space. |
