Hannover, Germany - Nokia is showcasing the second generation
of it's Factory in a Box in the 5G Arena in hall 16 at Hannover
Messe 2019 (April 1 to April 5), in collaboration with
several industry ecosystem partners. The container is a
proof of concept that demonstrates how Industry 4.0
solutions can be packed, transported and brought back into service
in a matter of hours, including full over-the-air connectivity.
Factory in a Box 2.0 combines additive manufacturing alongside
augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) and robotics, powered by
Nokia private 4G/5G. The semi-automated production workflow is also
now integrated in Nokia's Worldwide IoT Network Grid (WING) and has
a Nokia Digital Automation Cloud on board for industry-grade
connectivity.
Today's factories no longer operate as standalone operations,
but depend on the timely arrival of raw materials to keep
production flowing and finished goods being distributed to the end
customers. Global IoT plays a key role to ensure data on the entire
supply chain can be collected and made available, which is critical
in an application like Nokia's Factory in a Box. Nokia WING helps
Mobile Network Operators deliver a better global IoT experience to
their enterprise customers, ensuring the ability to collect this
IoT data from all parts of the supply chain, no matter where the
devices are located.
Nokia Digital Automation Cloud fits both small industrial
environments with few devices and large areas with multiple devices
to connect. Its high-performance 4G wireless connectivity is
optimized for industrial needs and it can host time-sensitive
applications and IoT stacks that require low latency. This digital
platform enables industrial companies to activate applications such
as high-accuracy object positioning, real-time video
processing and utilizes features like local network slicing, which
are often required in advanced IoT solutions such as Automated
Guided Vehicles, analytics and robotics. It is an ideal solution
for the Factory in a Box 2.0 container as it can flexibly be
moved in and out and used with or without an internet
connection.
Grant Marshall, VP Supply Network & Engineering at Nokia
said: "We could tell from the positive feedback we received on
the Factory in a Box last year that there is a lot of potential for
this concept in the manufacturing industry. This year, we have
raised the bar again, and Factory in a Box 2.0 is now connected to
Nokia WING and has Nokia DAC on board, making it even more
flexible, secure and efficient."
