Beyond 5G enabled advanced manufacturing, the 5th generation (5G) mobile networks and beyond (B5G) provide high bandwidth capacity, low latency and connectivity to enable a new generation of applications, services and business opportunities that have not been seen before. Smart sensors, enabled by 5G/B5G, are coordinated and communicated in real-time to complete the manufacturing process. These smart sensors will be able to assess the quality of components that are being manufactured in real time, reducing re-working requirements. This has the potential to revolutionize modern industrial processes and applications including agriculture, manufacturing and business communications. Through a combination of AI-based planning, edge computing, high bandwidth with low latency, connected machines, AR-enabled workers and integrated logistics. Beyond 5G, one can anticipate that there will be a more dynamic, self-regulating and self-adjusting process that will translate into agility, speed and higher productivity.

The scope of this conference will target at B5G-enabled advanced manufacturing, include, but not limited to, energy, automation, and mining etc. More specifically, novel models and algorithms for streaming data, edge computing, IoT and cloud management, which deliver cost-effective and ultra-low latency applications, real-time data collection and processing, are solicited. This conference aims at the technology and application innovation through the entire process of 5G/B5G-enabled advanced manufacturing from data collection and interoperability to accurate modelling and real-time computation and analysis in manufacturing process control.

This event is organized by EAI.

EAI – European Alliance for Innovation is a non-profit organization and a professional community established in cooperation with the European Commission to empower the global research and innovation, and to promote cooperation between European and International ICT communities.

EAI’s vision is to foster excellence in research and innovation on the principles of transparency, objectivity, equality, and openness. Our guiding principle is community cooperation to create better research, provide fair recognition of excellence and transform best ideas into commercial value proposition.

EAI‘s mission is to create an environment that rewards excellence transparently, and builds recognition objectively regardless of age, economic status or country of origin, where no membership fees or closed door committees stand in the way of your research career.

Through these shared values, EAI leads the way toward advancing the world of research and innovation, empowering individuals and institutions for the good of society to fully benefit from the digital revolution.
