5G campus networks
Partnership for smart production
With its campus networks, Deutsche Telekom offers an infrastructure for the smart factory of tomorrow. Together with partners from industry, Europe's largest telecommunications company wants to further expand its 5G ecosystem for industry. Deutsche Telekom is now cooperating with Endress+Hauser in the field of process automation.
The aim of the cooperation is to develop joint offerings in the field of measurement and automation technology for the process industry. This involves the integration of measuring devices and accessories into the next generation of mobile networks as well as digital services based on them. Both companies have signed a letter of intent to this effect and are now working on a coordinated schedule.
Measuring devices with mobile radio module
Endress+Hauser wants to be one of the first manufacturers to equip its field devices with mobile radio modules and connect them to 5G networks in existing systems via newly developed HART gateways. This will enable a large number of measuring devices to transmit a wealth of process and device data in parallel and in real time. This data can be evaluated in cloud applications for predictive maintenance of process plants, for example.
Campus networks open up second signal path
"In addition to the actual measured values, our instruments record a wealth of information from the process and via the sensor," says Matthias Altendorf, CEO of Endress+Hauser. "The 5G campus networks open up a second signal path that is independent of the system's control unit, making it possible to tap into this potential. This enables us to link value chains more closely across company boundaries and make industrial processes more efficient."
Strong partners for smart production
"Our development of a complete 5G ecosystem for industry will increase the pace of digitization in industry," explains Claudia Nemat, Member of the Board of Management for Technology and Innovation at Deutsche Telekom. "We are happy to work with renowned and experienced partners." In addition to the partnership with network equipment supplier Ericsson, the telecommunications company is now also cooperating with E&K Automation, a manufacturer of driverless transport systems, and Konica Minolta, which offers augmented reality glasses, among other things.
