5G has several advantages compared to Wi-Fi and can result in better scalability and cost savings.

Kollmorgen is currently performing 5G tests with Ericsson to explore future Mobile Robot capabilities. 5G can enable new levels of AI and Machine Learning, simplify requirements for infrastructure, and increase network stability – which could dramatically increase performance and cost efficiency for Kollmorgen’s partners that today include 6 out of the top 10 global players in material handling, such as Toyota Material Handling, Jungheinrich AG, and Mitsubishi Logisnext (Rocla).

“We want to continue to push the boundaries of Mobile Robot applications with our NDC Solutions platform. 5G holds the key to unlock more advanced routing of intralogistics, generate better insights, improve predictive maintenance, and speed-up commissioning. It is also likely going to be the future standard of industrial communication infrastructure” said Peter Bladh, Director R&D, Kollmorgen.
