Title
First Steps for a 5G-Ready Service in Cloud Manufacturing
Abstract
One ambition of Industry 4.0 is that all physical, virtual and human entities shall be able to communicate among each other. This approach provides a huge potential in case of further merging of production processes and further, offers the possibility to combine facilities from different local sites to one system. As an outcome, the production processes can be controlled from a remote fixed or mobile terminal to control and therefore have access within the production line. Especially for customers it is highly convenient to have a transparent insight in the running production process and the actual status of his orders. Moreover, to be able to change orders during running manufacture. Nowadays the industrial environment has changed a lot as the customers' demands have increased enormously. For instance, mass production must be smarter and all kind of data and information has to be handled. Furthermore, individual customized solutions are desired by clients. To react on the changing demands new solutions are necessary. Connecting all types of entities and equip the facilities with sensors to react on individual demands require a high reliability and security with a dynamic bandwidth, especially when production facilities have to work autonomously. With the upcoming fifth generation of mobile communication (5G) many required demands in the industrial environment can be satisfied. This means that 5G will have a deep impact in Industry 4.0 as it will be able to handle shortages concerning data handling, real-time demands and controlling hundreds of connected devices. BIBA's research topics lies in the field of production and logistics. With the new technology, the focus of research aims to examine requirements, constraints and the benefits of 5G for the industrial environment. By means of two use cases, one in production, the other one in logistics, the possibilities of 5G will be examined. The present paper will indicate the first steps by showing the use cases and first thoughts about the potential for future production facilities using cloud manufacturing.
