In the era of Industry 4.0, 5G connectivity stands as a pivotal technology poised to revolutionize smart factories. This presentation will explore how 5G’s ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) and massive machine-type communication (mMTC) capabilities can transform manufacturing processes. We will delve into the practical challenges of implementing 5G in industrial environments, including infrastructure requirements, cybersecurity concerns, and integration with existing systems. In this session you will learn how to:

• Enable real-time data exchange and automation with 5G, leading to increased productivity and reduced downtime.
• Deal with the complexities of upgrading existing infrastructure and ensure seamless integration with legacy systems.
• React to the heightened cybersecurity risks and build strategies to protect sensitive manufacturing data in a 5G-enabled environment.
