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 Network-Aware Application Enablement Platform (AEP) 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.
