WASHINGTON, March 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ericsson (NASDAQ:
ERIC) has launched Ericsson Industry Connect, an easy-to-use
cellular connectivity solution to accelerate Industry 4.0 digital
transformation.
Ericsson Industry Connect enables communication service
providers to offer dedicated cellular networks at factories and
warehouses starting with 4G/LTE, with a clear path to 5G.
The offering strengthens Ericsson's private networks and IoT
portfolios by making 4G and 5G technologies accessible to new
industrial markets.
Purpose-built for industrial environments such as factories and
warehouses, the dedicated cellular connectivity solution enables
secure, reliable coverage with high device density and predictable
latency.
With a network management experience designed to be easy to use
and manage for information technology (IT) and operational
technology (OT) professionals, the solution aims to make cellular
technology rapidly deployable for factory and warehouse staff.
With industrial-grade wireless connectivity, Ericsson Industry
Connect can enable innovative Industry 4.0 use cases such as:
digital twin inspection (a real-time digital replica of a physical
entity) with massive amounts of sensors; mobility for human machine
interface (HMI) instructions for workers; collision avoidance and
remote control for autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs); and
collaborative robotics for automated operations.
Åsa Tamsons, Senior Vice President, Head of Business Area
Technologies and New Businesses, Ericsson, says: "Ericsson Industry
Connect is built on design thinking to meet industrial customers'
requirements on speed, reliability and security, while being easy
to install and manage. It helps enterprises to accelerate their
automation and operational efficiency to the next level. It
complements service providers' offerings to enterprises with a
solution that is easy to scale. Ericsson Industry Connect increases
the relevance of cellular solutions in the high growing segment of
industrial connectivity - leveraging Ericsson's technology
leadership, strength in connectivity, and R&D investments to
date."
Swedish provider of transport solutions, Scania has already
implemented Ericsson Industry Connect in its smart production lab
in Södertälje, Sweden.
Roger Hartonen, Senior Manager Industrial IT, Scania Group,
says: "High quality, fast, and secure connectivity of our
industrial environment is now an absolute must for us. Ericsson
Industry Connect gives us reliable wireless connectivity which will
enable flexibility for us on the factory floor. At Scania, we are
driving the shift toward sustainable transport by continuously
innovating our manufacturing processes"
Pierce Owen, Principal Analyst,
ABI Research, says: "The technology case for private LTE has
existed for some time now, but with Industry Connect, Ericsson has
productized that technology in a way that empowers implementers and
operators to deliver the benefits of private LTE to factories and
warehouses with a real business case."
Ericsson Industry Connect will be demonstrated at Hannover Messe
April 1-5 in the Ericsson booth, Hall
8.
