5G, edge computing, AI/ML and digital twins are interconnected technologies that offer new possibilities for real-time data analysis, intelligent decision-making and the optimization of various processes and systems. At the Industrial 5G Forum, experts discussed how the combination of these technologies is supporting use cases in areas like IoT, smart cities, transportation and industrial automation. Edge computing reduces latency of decisions and corresponding actions, reduces data transmission costs and network congestion, and is particularly important in industrial IoT environments due to the sheer volume of data.
