Qualcomm 5G private networks enable industrial automation
Automation and its associated connectivity tools are essential to achieving Industry 4.0. In this video, take a look behind the tech to see how Qualcomm and Bosch are partnering to enable mission-critical industrial automation over a 5G private network.
Venturing inside Bosch’s electronics factory, you can see how several technologies rely on a 5G private network to automate mission-critical business processes. This begins with an autonomous vehicle providing an empty box to an autonomous mobile robot (AMR). 5G allows ultra-low latency, time synchronization communication with the AMR, while 5G positioning tech alerts the AMR that the autonomous vehicle is in place.
The AMR can then pick up a part from the conveyor belt, hold it under an HD vision systems camera that is connected to virtual controls via 5G, decide if the part is of sufficient quality or not, and sort the part accordingly. Good parts are then placed into the box atop the autonomous vehicle. When the box is full, the vehicle can then take the parts to the next part of the factory floor.
This demonstration is a testament to the ability of Qualcomm’s high-reliability, low-latency 5G technologies that can increase industrial automation and usher in Industry 4.0.
