Industrial Internet of Things

Whether you are a CTO or a plant manager, keeping up with Industry 4.0 digital transformation initiatives can be daunting. With the emergence of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and smart factories, you want a partner that can help you embrace the power of 5G. Optimize the efficiency of your operations with environmental smart sensors, predictive maintenance and automation. Our Business Solutions Experts can help you reduce downtime by launching the latest IIoT initiatives for manufacturing facilities, supply chains and distribution channels. 

Private Cellular Networks for Industry 4.0

Industrial IoT and machine automation have created a need for private cellular networks with low latency, plus enhanced security, thruput and control. To increase efficiency and reduce costs, manufacturing, warehousing and distribution facilities are being retrofitted with advanced cellular technology with indoor and outdoor coverage options to complement existing Wi-Fi.

Common use cases include:

  • Augmented or virtual reality for supply chain management and logistics
  • Box handling automation
  • Video and sensor analytics
  • Machine to machine learning
  • Autonomous robotics
  • Environmental sensor management

Unlike Wi-Fi, a 4G LTE or 5G-enabled system can offer data autonomy from the public network via a secure, private network.

Security

As manufacturers increasingly connect IIoT devices into their Operational Technology (OT) business ecosystem, it is crucial to protect the valuable data and analytics that are transmitted via smart sensors. Keep your plant and factory assets secure with our Business Security Solutions, including wireless cameras and sensors that eliminate the need for costly and time-consuming hard-wiring, and allow for easy repositioning. We can help you protect against cyberattacks and streamline IT operations by pushing upgrades, apps and software to all your devices at once. Mobile device management (MDM) remotely monitors, manages and secures data across all your mobile devices, whether you have a few or a few thousand. 

Productivity & Collaboration

In today’s hybrid work environment, and especially with challenges caused by the pandemic, manufacturers are seeking ways to help their teams work together and get more done. To work smarter, they need tools to safely access information. Employee safety is paramount and it’s essential to provide quick, convenient communications to help reduce the risk of workplace injuries. 

Keep your team connected, whether they are in the office, in R&D, on the plant floor or remote–even in rural areas. And if your primary internet fails, our failover solution provides a fast, reliable backup to seamlessly keep your team connected. 

Fleet Management

As manufacturers look to gain more visibility into their supply chains, vehicle tracking from the manufacturing plant to the customer becomes crucial. UScellular fleet management gives you control of your assets by employing these features: 

  • From a single modern dashboard, gain real-time views of your driver, the vehicle and diagnostics.
