The aim of Connect is the exploratory investigation of the potential of the 5G communication standard to promote a circular, more sustainable economy with a focus on the product, production and factory system of the future.
The application potential depending on the performance characteristics of 5G is to be examined with a wide variety of use cases. To implement the use cases, a private 5G campus network will be set up in the production environment of the Open Hybrid Lab Factory (OHLF), which will be used for the use cases in the production and end-of-life (recycling, remanufacturing) life cycle phases ((re)production).
From IWF the focus will be on : intelligent process monitoring and control with process/product inspector; testing in production and use; use of mixed reality and mobile devices; intelligent cleaning and repair systems (together with Fraunhofer IST)
