The #5G Factory of the Future programme is an open-access industrial 5G testbed being developed by a consortium of industrial and academic leaders to encourage adoption of 5G #technologies in manufacturing. • The project is exploring ways to dramatically improve manufacturer performance with potential significant reductions in defects and waste through real time monitoring; enhanced machine utilisation and energy saving through digital twin track and trace; and reductions in travel and maintenance times brought about by shared hybrid reality spaces. • Led by the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) North West, the consortium of partners includes global players BAE Systems and IBM, telecoms and private 5G network provider aql, along with Burnley-based MTT, an SME developer of digitalisation technologies for machine tools, Lancashire-based data-driven logistics specialist, Miralis, and leading UK innovation centre Digital Catapult.
