All distribution organizations face the same set of business challenges: the need to increase productivity and operational efficiency, reduce costs, and maintain safety and security. Industry 4.0 aims to meet these challenges by revolutionizing distribution with new digital business models that allow organizations to more quickly pivot their operating processes to better meet the demands of the market.
That’s why distribution centers need fast, reliable private 5G networks to make the distribution center more efficient and cost- effective. They are more agile than wired networks, allowing easier control of automated mobile robots (AMRs) and more consistent connectivity for mobile technology. They move data faster from IoT sensors to support near real-time video feeds with more flexibility and built in security which help reduce the risk of breaches that could affect production and reputation.
Implementing industrial IoT solutions with private 5G networks is the key step to realizing the full potential of smart distribution and gaining a competitive edge in today’s challenging environment.
