XG Mobile Promotion Forum (XGMF) participated in the 5th Joint Workshop jointly organized by Flexible Factory Partner Alliance (FFPA) and 5G-ACIA to discuss issues and measures to promote 5G/local 5G wireless adoption in factories, based on the MoU between the two organizations. We participated in the workshop as a supporting organization.
The workshop began with brief introductions from each organization, and from XGMF, Takehiro Nakamura, project leader of ODAIBA IX Core, took the stage to introduce XGMF's initiatives.
Following the discussion, we documented the results of the discussions to date and discussed the future construction of a cooperative relationship. In addition, NICT gave a presentation on the application of wireless technology to industrial DX, taking as an example a use case in an automobile factory where finished cars are transported to a yard where they are stored using automatic operation, and introducing a study applying the 5G-ACIA business value evaluation method.
Finally, we summarized the discussions to date and discussed issues, solutions, and proposed responses for the spread of 5G to the manufacturing industry.
