Abstract
Abstract In this paper, we propose a communication network architecture for industrial applications that combines new 5G technologies with other existing communication technologies on the shop floor. This architecture connects private and public mobile networks with local networking technologies to achieve a flexible setup addressing many different industrial use cases. We show how the advancements introduced around the new 5G mobile technology can address a wide range of industrial requirements. We further describe relevant use cases and develop an overall communication system architecture proposal, which is able to fulfill not only technical requirements but also system requirements, which result from specific applications existing in today’s and future manufacturing scenarios.
Highlights
The growing digitalization and interconnection of manufacturing processes is leading to a closer gearing of companies, suppliers and customers
In this paper, we propose a communication network architecture for industrial applications that combines new 5th generation mobile networks (5G) technologies with other existing communication technologies on the shop floor
The project scope covers local production sites and opportunities arising from adding inter-site connections. 5Gang is a consortium of eight partners from industry and academia who bring in their experience covering technical, business and production process aspects
