5G, in conjunction with IoT, Edge computing and XR, is a technology that holds the potential to revolutionize sustainability in the manufacturing industry. Private 5G is becoming the foundation stone for the three pillars of sustainability – reduce, reuse and recycle. 5G enables complex computations and decision systems to move at the edge, allowing manufacturers to leverage 5G and build smart factories. This investment can also support green initiatives, as 5G promises to deliver faster, more reliable, and more secure connectivity than ever before. By connecting sensors and devices to 5G networks, manufacturers can analyze energy consumption data, waste generation, and other environmental metrics in real-time at the edge.
