Cover Story: The next generation of mobile broadband communication, 5G, is a key driver for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Its enhanced performance, network customization, and secure data isolation allow for the deployment of 5G Non-Public Networks (NPN), a flexible alternative to the well-known Ethernet wired connections commonly used in industrial settings. This paper presents a practical implementation of IIoT over 5G, featuring a 5G IoT End Device that collects sensor data from shop floor assets, an industrial 5G NPN that acts as communication infrastructure, and an Intelligent Assistant that leverages the data for valuable insights, enabling sustainable asset operations. These infrastructure and application components have been tested and validated on the shop floor, showcasing 5G’s potential towards smarter and greener factories. View this paper
