The 5G-Industry Campus Europe, Europe's largest industrial 5G research infrastructure, went online in May 2020. There, the Fr ... aunhofer IPT is researching and testing the first industrial 5G applications together with its research partners in Aachen. In a total of seven sub-projects, different application scenarios are being investigated, ranging from 5G sensor technology for monitoring and controlling highly complex manufacturing processes, to mobile robotics and logistics, to production chains spanning multiple locations. In addition, the Aachen scientists are testing the use of modern edge cloud systems for the high-speed processing of data in order to exploit the potential of 5G in networked, adaptive production. Since April, the 5G-Industry Campus Europe is one of the four 5G testbeds of the 5G Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation (5G-ACIA). The testbed is part of the 5GSMART project, a collaborative EU project to show how 5G can boost production. read more
