Schneider Electric, Capgemini and Qualcomm Technologies have allied to create a 5G-enabled automated hoisting system that can be deployed across various industrial and logistics sites.
The end-to-end solution will be implemented in Schneider Electric's hoisting lab and provide 24/7 reliability, accuracy, and manual and autonomous capabilities, the companies said.
Marc Lafont, VP, Innovation and Upstream Marketing, Schneider Electric said: “This breakthrough end-to-end 5G private network hoisting solution is a perfect example of the power of working together as we pilot it at end-user sites this year.”
Enrico Salvatori, SVP, Qualcomm Europe, Inc. and President, Qualcomm Europe/MEA added: "Our latest technologies are accelerating the numerous benefits modern 5G Private Networks offer to partners like Schneider Electric and Capgemini.”
