Challenge and motivation

  • 5G is in the advent of being rolled out in many countries
  • 5G is promising attractive features for industrial application, but its integration into the infrastructure is not yet clear
  • Financial benefits unclear

Objective

  • Create a reference architecture for the integration of 5G into industrial production, which serves as a blueprint for an efficient 5G roll out
  • Economical evaluation for selected use cases
