5G RedCap connectivity for smart manufacturing

応用例と事例

主なポイント

Modern production lines connect PLCs, industrial robots, CNC machines, AGVs, cameras, and MES platforms. Wired networks can be difficult to adapt when equipment or production layouts change. Conventional 4G may not meet the bandwidth and latency needs of some industrial applications, while standard 5G can add cost and power consumption when deployed at scale.
The IR602 combines 5G RedCap, Wi-Fi 6, and Ethernet access to connect fixed and mobile equipment across the production floor. VPN support protects data in transit, while DeviceLive gives operations teams a central way to configure, monitor, and maintain deployed routers.

背景

Manufacturers increasingly depend on data exchange between production equipment and business systems. PLCs, robots, AGVs, industrial cameras, and MES platforms all require dependable network access.

Wired networks can limit flexibility because production line changes often require new cabling. Conventional 4G may not provide the latency or upload capacity needed for industrial vision, video, and production data. Standard 5G offers higher performance, but its cost and power requirements may be difficult to justify across a large number of industrial IoT endpoints.

Manufacturers therefore need a wireless connectivity option that balances performance, cost, power consumption, security, and remote manageability.

顧客要件

Low-latency,
dependable communication
Support production data exchange between PLCs, industrial robots, and automated equipment.
Connectivity for
different device types
Connect controllers, CNC machines, industrial cameras, AGVs, tablets, and maintenance terminals.
集中管理
Support remote configuration, firmware updates, status monitoring, and fault alerts.
Secure and resilient

解決

An IR602 5G RedCap industrial router is deployed as the communication gateway for each production line. PLCs, industrial robots, CNC machines, and cameras connect through Ethernet. AGVs, industrial tablets, and mobile maintenance terminals connect over Wi-Fi 6.

The IR602 uses 5G RedCap as the primary backhaul link. Equipment status and production data are sent through an encrypted VPN tunnel to the company data center or industrial cloud platform.

DeviceLive provides centralized management for all deployed routers. Operations teams can update configurations, perform firmware upgrades, monitor network status, receive fault alerts, and diagnose issues remotely.

利点

A practical path to
industrial 5G
RedCap balances 5G connectivity with the cost and power requirements of large-scale industrial IoT deployments.
Improved connection
resilience
Dual SIM, link monitoring, industrial-grade hardware, and a hardware watchdog help reduce disruption to production communications.
More flexible production
networking
Wireless access makes it easier to connect new equipment or adjust production layouts without extensive recabling.
Lower maintenance
workload
Batch configuration, remote updates, monitoring, and diagnostics reduce the need for on-site maintenance.
Protected production data
VPN encryption and network access controls help protect data sent between the production floor and remote systems.
