5G-SOLUTIONS: Connected Goods

Overview of  5G-SOLUTIONS Trial on Connected Goods

Consolidating physical goods in factories is strategically important to the manufacturing industry. Product lifecycle data, combined with personalised usage and context data is extensive required and exploited by business models in the manufacturing industry. Reinforcing this product-service relationship will become increasingly important in the production of connected goods, and will see manufacturing plants evolve towards a data-driven eco-system.

Ultimately this will augment production-related data with usage-related data collected during their lifetime. To boost such data collection scenarios, reliable and cost-effective communication is also required. Smart data filtering and scalable data analytics will fuel a new way for data-driven, computer-aided design.

Device autonomy is a key requirement for realising the true potential of connected goods, and as such, new low-power, low-cost, long-range communication technologies need to be integrated within the factory communication network.
