05 Janvier 2023 - 2:00PM
Verizon Business today announced its private 5G wireless network is
live at The Smart Factory @ Wichita, a new immersive, Industry 4.0
experience center convened by Deloitte*.
Verizon works with Deloitte and other Smart Factory
ecosystem companies to advance the execution of smart manufacturing
and enables manufacturers to quickly adopt state-of-the-art,
Industry 4.0 solutions and technologies that drive new business
models to boost quality, productivity and sustainability. As a
Builder-level collaborator in The Smart Factory @ Wichita ecosystem
of 20 world-leading organizations, Verizon intends to leverage this
network of companies to help customers across industries innovate
their approach to improved connectivity and use of data to improve
real-time coordination between people and assets. Verizon’s private
5G wireless network provides features that will help drive select
use cases at The Smart Factory @ Wichita, including:
- Increased shop floor visibility: Use of
predictive maintenance analytics on assets can improve uptime and
productivity by addressing ~50% of the root causes of
downtime.
- Improved quality assurance and reduced
defects: Detection of potential defects in manufactured
products or services before they reach customers, thereby improving
the customer experience and reducing waste.
- Material handling automation: Orchestration
and management of AGV and AMR fleets can lead to improved
reliability, consistency, safety and accuracy of moving material
across the plant.
- Workplace safety: Reduces human error and
manual workloads to minimize injury and productivity
loss.
“The Smart Factory @ Wichita is a microcosm of industry 4.0
itself, with a wide range of enterprise partners, suppliers,
researchers, and complementary technologies coming together in one
ecosystem to make a supercharged impact. 5G brings massive
bandwidth and incredibly fast data speeds to the equation to help
make these impacts replicable in a plethora of business
applications at virtually any scale — customers have the
flexibility to dream big and start small,” said Jennifer Artley,
SVP, 5G Acceleration, Verizon Business. “5G is the backbone of
Industry 4.0, and we’re so excited to bring it to Deloitte’s The
Smart Factory @ Wichita to help catalyze scalable, collaborative
innovation.”
The Smart Factory @ Wichita showcases advanced manufacturing
techniques in a variety of applications on a shop floor to help
organizations navigate their most complex manufacturing challenges.
The Factory, located on the Innovation Campus at Wichita State
University, includes a fully operational production line and
experiential labs for developing and exploring smart manufacturing
technology and strategy. Visitors to the facility experience smart
manufacturing concepts that bring together the Internet of Things
(IoT), cloud, artificial intelligence (AI), computer vision, and
more to create interconnected systems that use data to drive
real-time, intelligent decision making.
“As smart manufacturing begins to be executed at scale, the
number of devices, amount of data and information available to
manufacturers continues to dramatically increase,” said Jason
Bergstrom, Smart Factory Go-to-Market leader and principal,
Deloitte Consulting LLP. “In bringing together Verizon’s 5G
experience with Deloitte’s tailored combination of business
strategy, technology, and deep industry experience with other Smart
Factory @ Wichita ecosystem collaborators, the organizations can
help clients accelerate the speed and adoption of operational
transformations.”
This work with Deloitte at The Smart Factory @ Wichita furthers
the commitment between the two companies to co-innovate, leveraging
Verizon 5G and edge computing to build applications and solutions
that drive both the retail and manufacturing industries
forward.
