Verizon and Corning co-innovating with 5G to create factory of the future
2019年10月23日 - 7:30PM
Verizon has installed 5G Ultra Wideband service in Corning’s fiber
optic cable manufacturing facility in Hickory, NC. Corning will use
Verizon’s 5G technology to test how 5G can enhance functions such
as factory automation and quality assurance in one of the largest
fiber optic cable manufacturing facilities in the world.
The companies are also working together to co-innovate new
5G-enabled solutions that can potentially revolutionize the way
goods and services are produced.
5G’s low latency, fast speeds and high bandwidth can improve the
manufacturing process, enhancing capabilities like machine
learning, augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR). Engineers
from Verizon and Corning will explore how the factory of the future
can use 5G to dramatically speed data collection, allow machines to
communicate with each other in near real time, and wirelessly track
and inspect inventory using 5G-connected cameras. They’ll also test
how 5G can improve the function of autonomous guided vehicles
(AGVs) by helping them move more efficiently around the factory
floor.
“5G will usher in the Fourth Industrial Revolution enabling
massive steps forward in robotics and automation that will
transform supply chain management and create smarter and more
efficient factories,” said Tami Erwin, executive vice president and
CEO of Verizon Business Group. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with
Corning to explore how 5G will ultimately reshape the way the
manufacturing industry operates.”
The project advances Verizon's longstanding collaboration with
Corning, recently focused on solutions that speed deployment of 5G
using Corning’s industry-leading optical technologies and Verizon’s
next-generation network architecture.
"Together, Verizon and Corning engineers expect to break new
ground by identifying which 5G-enabled capabilities offer the most
promise in a manufacturing environment," said Dr. Claudio Mazzali,
senior vice president of technology for Corning’s Optical
Communications business segment. "This builds on our collaboration
with Verizon in a powerful way: Verizon turned to Corning for the
fiber, cable, and optical connectivity innovations that are
bringing their 5G network to life. Now Verizon is bringing 5G
capabilities to a plant where those cable innovations are produced
– completing the circle.”
