Thanks to the ongoing development toward 5G technology and the use of compatible mobile devices, such as the IS540.1, companies can now digitalize their production facilities and processes further and fully utilize applications, such as remote maintenance, IIoT, and augmented reality — even in explosive gas zones (Ex zones).
The 5G concept offers particular advantages where machines communicate with each other, real-time data transfer rates are high, and latencies must be minimal. This makes 5G a key technology for new automation applications.
