Industry 4.0 is the latest industrial revolution that takes manufacturing facilities into the digital realm. With a market projected to be $337 billion by 2028, private 5th generation (5G) technology is expected to deliver a new era of intelligent, connected, efficient manufacturing.

With speeds up to 100 times faster than 4G and ultra-low latency (1ms), 5G delivers wireless connectivity equivalent to today’s wired technology. 5G’s speed and rock-solid connectivity provide the foundation for AI integration with remote process sensors and ultra-high-definition video cameras for real-time automated decision-making and process improvements in a manufacturing environment. In addition, the enhanced security of 5G will accelerate its adoption in the industrial sector.

Shabodi supports manufacturers through its Application Enablement Platform (NetAware) which provides simple, reusable APIs to enable application developers to quickly build and deploy intelligent, portable, vendor-agnostic network-aware applications. Manufacturers need these applications to bring advanced use cases to life, such as cost-effective automation at scale, immersive expert assistance with Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), automated quality control, and more.
