The factory of the future is flexible and the next generation employees is important to incubate new digital solutions and develop our companies to a sustainable future. With the game changing capabilities of 5G, mobile communications can enable the future of manufacturing by connecting warehousing, logistics and assembly. By optimizing the entire product value chain, the goal of mass customization is within reach. The future of manufacturing is wireless, with interconnecting free moving assets controlled by humans, allowing for greater decision power and the creation of bespoke and adaptable workflows. By exploiting smarter storage and empowering collaborative robots with mobility, a redesign of operations is finally possible. Instead of performing repetitive and ad hoc tasks in between automation, work will become programmable and by following a “made to order” logic, it will even become monetized.
