Ericsson, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Hitachi America R&D have forged a collaborative partnership to showcase the transformative potential of existing 5G, AI, and automation solutions in the manufacturing sector. A notable milestone in this collaboration was implementing a private 5G infrastructure trial at Hitachi Astemo Americas' electric motor vehicle manufacturing facility in Berea, Kentucky, USA. This trial allowed the three companies to demonstrate the real-world application and benefits of advanced technologies in a manufacturing setting.
The novel solution harnesses the power of Ericsson Private 5G and AWS Snow Family to create private cellular networks for implementing machine learning (ML) models at the heart of the Hitachi manufacturing complex. By showcasing the capabilities of 5G, AI, and automation, this collaboration paves the way for the wider adoption of these solutions across the manufacturing industry, driving innovation and progress.
