Many things going on in manufacturing right now such as the use of AI, augmented reality, and virtual reality can be enabled and aided by 5G.

The growing use of smart sensors and the Internet of Things (IoT) devices combined with more sophisticated analytics applied to the data they produce is driving a revolution in manufacturing. In many cases, the missing piece is connectivity.

Increasingly, 5G is seen as the wireless infrastructure element to bring these things together. It offers the required bandwidth, low latency, and reliability in harsh manufacturing environments. To get a better understanding of the role 5G can play in manufacturing, its challenges, and benefits, RTInsights sat down with Ricky Watts, Industrial Solutions Senior Director at Intel. Here is a summary of our conversation.
