The rise of the smart factory is shaping the future of manufacturing. Smart machines help speed production and lower costs by automating tasks and supporting workers. Using sensors, AI, and machine learning, these machines can navigate their environments, avoid obstacles, and make real-time decisions.

However, these powerful devices produce and consume a lot of data. By combining smart technology with reliable connectivity, autonomous machines can transform their operational areas and optimize manufacturing processes.

In this panel discussion, experts from Hitachi Rail, Slalom, Cypher Robotics and Ericsson will share real-world applications of autonomous things in manufacturing using 5G.
