To what extent are wireless communications and local 5G being used in manufacturing? And what are the barriers to adoption?
To answer these questions, XGMF, FFPA, and 5G-ACIA, in cooperation with the NICT joint research project FSPJ, conducted a survey to gather the real voices of those involved. The answers obtained from people in diverse positions, including end users, vendors, and system providers, highlight the challenges and expectations faced by the field as the industrial use of wireless communications advances.
What are the areas of actual implementation, what are the unexpected challenges, and what initiatives will be required in the future?
We hope that you will use the information, including the content reported in the workshop "Challenges and Measures for Promoting Wireless 5G/Local 5G in Factories" held on April 10, 2025, as a hint for future introduction of the technology and planning of measures.
