The move is designed to boost digitalisation within production processes, enabling smoother communication between personnel, equipment, and machinery, such as sensors, production robots, and autonomous transport vehicles.
Using T-Mobile’s 5G technology, Conti says the network will enhance connectivity across Continental’s European manufacturing sites, fostering a standardised environment with reduced latency and bridging global production facilities.
Spanning 5,000 square meters, the Brandýs plant would integrate over 1,000 devices and sensors into the private 5G network.
This shift allows technicians to remotely collaborate with on-site colleagues, employing augmented reality for guidance in maintenance procedures.
