“…The IIoT edge gateway, or aggregation point (AP), primarily provides connectivity to networks with a large number of sensors, controllers and actuators, all of which can use different wireless/wired technologies. It is located on the edge of the network close to the data provider and the edge of the system leading from the machine to the cloud [2,22].…”

5G networks will change several industries, including manufacturing. 5G has the potential to become the future communication platform of choice for many industries and in particular the manufacturing sector, driving the future of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing. The vision of a “factory of the future” is now tangible for many industry sectors. The ability to cope with increased bandwidth, latency requirements, big-data generated from more connected equipment and the data processing required on the factory floor is a massive challenge for industry. This paper discusses how 5G can impact a manufacturing environment, the standards and technical requirements needed to meet the demands of utilizing 5G, and the security issues that need to be addressed if planning a 5G deployment.

“…1) Use Cases, Architectures, Challenges and Requirements for Smart Factory Network: Several contributions have studied 5G network deployments designed for the smart factory, including the system architecture [212], [216], the requirements and challenges [213], [214], [216]- [218], [221], [222]. The 5Gang consortium [212], which is a collaboration between industrial and academic partners, has defined a 5G system architecture suitable for the smart factory, while a hierarchical architecture is proposed in [216]. As shown in Fig.…”

5G wireless systems will extend mobile communication services beyond mobile telephony, mobile broadband, and massive machine-type communication into new application domains, namely the so-called vertical domains including the smart factory, smart vehicles, smart grid, smart city, etc. Supporting these vertical domains comes with demanding requirements: high-availability, high-reliability, low-latency, and in some cases, high-accuracy positioning. In this survey, we first identify the potential key performance requirements of 5G communication in support of automation in the vertical domains and highlight the 5G enabling technologies conceived for meeting these requirements. We then discuss the key challenges faced both by industry and academia which have to be addressed in order to support automation in the vertical domains. We also provide a survey of the related research dedicated to automation in the vertical domains. Finally, our vision of 6G wireless systems is discussed briefly.

“…• Secondly, 5G technologies are required to offer ultra-reliable and ultra-low latency services to support the applications in critical communication scenarios. For instance, 5G has been regarded as a key pillar technology for realizing the Industry 4.0 by German government [3] and autonomous robots and driving by Japan Government [4].…”
