The innovative features of 5G private network allow the solution to be implemented without or with less wiring and little impact on production operations, to save costs and build full process sense ability of the production line in a short time. By interfacing with SAC cloud-based analysis tools, users can grasp the real-time operation status of the production line and benefit from higher productivity, safer and more stable production, as well as full transparency on processing to minimize risks through traceability. The Local 5G Data Integration Solution also helps users continuously improve processes and achieve a better level of lean production management. The solution is especially applicable to manufacturers in the assembly building industry, and of reference value for process/discrete manufacturing companies in other industries with mold flow system.

"AILINK 5G Edge Computing enables enterprise users to quickly realize network transformation and data transmission. AI vision technology replaces manual labor to reduce workload.
