In the era of Industry 4.0, 5G connectivity stands as a pivotal technology poised to revolutionize smart factories. This presentation will explore how 5G’s ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) and massive machine-type communication (mMTC) capabilities can transform manufacturing processes. We will delve into the practical challenges of implementing 5G in industrial environments, including infrastructure requirements, cybersecurity concerns, and integration with existing systems.

• Enhanced Automation and Efficiency: How 5G enables real-time data exchange and automation, leading to increased productivity and reduced downtime.
• Challenges in Infrastructure and Integration: Addressing the complexities of upgrading existing infrastructure and ensuring seamless integration with legacy systems.
• Cybersecurity and Data Privacy: Examining the heightened cybersecurity risks and strategies to protect sensitive manufacturing data in a 5G-enabled environment.
