Industries & Use Cases for Private 5G Networks

A private 5G network makes your production reliably fast and secure: machines, robots and sensors communicate in real time — with stable response times, high availability and local data sovereignty.

Whether automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), augmented reality (AR) assistance or predictive maintenance: your processes run reliably and transparently.

The network is scalable from individual applications to productive operation, provides redundancy for high resilience, defined service levels and integrates seamlessly into the existing IT/OT landscape.

A private 5G network gives you the advantage of perfectly coordinated yard management. Real-time location and condition data create transparency — from goods receipt to gate processing — and form the basis for efficient supply chain management.

Automate material flows with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and optimize order picking and yard logistics. Seamless connectivity between indoor and outdoor areas ensures stable connections — even where Wi-Fi reaches its limits. Data remains within the company, while critical applications receive dedicated network resources.

This makes the network ideal for transshipment sites, distribution centers and intralogistics environments with high availability requirements — secure, scalable and high-performance.

Reliable communication where dust, rock and distance define the environment. Underground and in open-pit mining, teams, vehicles and systems remain reliably connected via a local 5G network. Push-to-talk (PTT), remote control of construction machinery such as dozers or dumpers, and live video increase safety and efficiency.

ATEX-suitable components and edge analytics close to the extraction site reduce latency; prioritized voice channels safeguard critical processes. For open-pit mining, underground mining and conveyor systems: redundantly designed, location-accurate and fail-safe — with secure network design and prioritized communication paths for safety-critical operations.

The network operates autonomously and independently of public mobile networks — for maximum operational reliability in demanding environments.

Where cleanroom regulations apply, every millisecond matters: private 5G networks enable validated, secure communication in sterile production environments. Production and laboratory processes run reliably and in compliance with regulatory requirements; data is processed locally and remains within the protected environment. Automated material flows, quality controls and augmented reality (AR) assistance are securely supported.

Through clearly defined interfaces, the solution integrates into existing systems such as Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), as well as into existing IT security policies. Role-based, multi-tenant and auditable — with defined approval and change processes.

Where communication is critical, every second counts. A local 5G network provides resilient, prioritized connections for control centers, emergency responders and utility companies in critical infrastructure — independently of public networks. Push-to-talk (PTT) and TETRA integration ensure reliable voice communication, while video, telemetry and situational information are available in real time.

Quality of Service (QoS) prioritizes applications, while redundancies and fallbacks increase availability. Defined latencies ensure predictable processes. Ideal for public safety organizations and first responders, industrial fire brigades, as well as railway operations on industrial sites and in depots. Data remains within the perimeter, processes are auditable, and operations comply with security policies.
