5G alliance for the industry launched
The '5G-ACIA' working group founded at the ZVEI at the beginning of April officially began its work at the Hannover Messe 2018. It aims to successfully establish the 5G generation of mobile communications in industrial production.
The '5G Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation' (5G-ACIA) initiative aims to play an active role in the standardization and regulation of 5G. At the same time, it identifies and analyzes possible use cases and the associated requirements on the part of industry. "5G will become the central nervous system of the factory of the future and will have a disruptive effect on industrial production," explained Dr. Andreas Müller(Bosch), Chairman of the 5G-ACIA at the Hannover Messe. The 5G-ACIA brings together all the key players worldwide for the first time, making it possible to work in a concerted and targeted manner to ensure that the needs of the industry are taken into account accordingly.
The initiative brings together representatives of the traditional automation and manufacturing industry as well as organizations from the ICT industry. The current 26 members include Beckhoff, Bosch, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), Deutsche Telekom, Endress+Hauser, Ericsson, Festo, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Harting, Hirschmann Automation & Control, Huawei, Infineon, Institute for Industrial Information Technology (inIT), Institute for Automation and Communication (ifak), Intel, Mitsubishi, Nokia, NXP, Pepperl+Fuchs, Phoenix Contact, R3 - Reliable Realtime Radio Communications, Siemens, Trumpf, Vodafone, Weidmüller and Yokogawa.
