Druid MANUFACTURING & CYBER-SECURITY INSTITUTE (MXD)
BELLEVUE, Wash.–May 24, 2022– Wireless pioneer Betacom, an enabler of Industry 4.0 through private 5G wireless networks, is now a partner at MxD, the Digital Manufacturing Institute and the National Center for Cyber-security in Manufacturing, and will provide the organization’s Chicago headquarters and Factory Floor Lab with a private 5G network. The network, one of the US’ first indoor private 5G deployments, will serve as the foundation to develop and enable technologies that power Industry 4.0.
Industry 4.0 is a tech-powered revolution with the capacity to bring manufacturing back to the United States. The automation which sits at the core of the movement can concentrate supply lines closer to customers, reduce the need for manual labor in manufacturing, drive new business models and refine traditional business models to deliver next level goods and services. The high speed and low latency of private 5G networks, combined with strong security protocols, enable IoT deployments that drive manufacturing, warehousing and other environments to stronger productivity gains and optimal efficiency.
