“Private 5G provides a secure, low-latency network for all factory devices, from tablets to sensors,” Parm continues.
“Combined with Edge AI, it delivers real-time critical information on operations, enabling intelligent asset tracking, proactive management, and maintenance.
“This enhances customer control over their data, speed time to market, and boosts efficiency.
“NTT DATA’s Device as a Service bridges device lifecycle management and managed services to align factory deployments with business goals,” he concludes.
The partnership will bridge the barriers to Private 5G adoption, including the availability of 5G devices for enterprises- a market which Omdia estimates will grow 35% globally over the next four years, reaching nearly US$10bn by 2028.
AI key to Industry 4.0
The news follows NTT DATA’s recent collaboration with Qualcomm, aimed to accelerate the evolution of the 5G device ecosystem.
As businesses experience more digital transformation, this should be met with more connectivity to support Industry 4.0 applications and the adoption of AI.
The two companies aim to make the low latency and high-security features of Private 5G enabled devices easily accessible to frontline workers in the automotive, manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics industries.
“Our partnership with NTT DATA underscores our commitment to bring customers the latest innovations powered by Wi-Fi, Private LTE, and Private 5G networks,” says Julie Johnson, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Enterprise Mobile Computing at Zebra Technologies.
