From operating machines in a manufacturing facility to connecting supply chain with trucks on the road, connectivity is fundamental to enabling Industry 4.0. As the leading 5G technology provider, Ericsson will demonstrate how going wireless with 5G, IoT and WAN transform manufacturing at Hannover Messe from May 30 to June 2. Ericsson is on-site with demonstrations, a panel session, and a digital presence.
Having successful industrial end-to-end solutions is a team effort, and we are proud to be joined by our Industry 4.0 partners, including device and software vendors, system integrators, and hyperscale cloud providers at Hannover Messe. Together with partners, our demos highlight the tools needed for a rapidly evolving manufacturing environment where production needs to be faster, more secure and more flexible.

Cradlepoint, a part of the Ericsson, is the market leader for cloud-based routers and adapters in 4G LTE and 5G networks. Together with Ericsson, Cradlepoint will showcase the power of wireless WAN solutions for enterprises and the functionality and advantages of SIM management integration with Ericsson IoT Accelerator. Manufacturers often use hundreds of routers and adapters that are connected to either the public or a private mobile network via 4G or 5G. Cradlepoint NetCloud Manager with SIM management helps IT managers configure and administer these devices saving time and money for enterprises.
Together with Ericsson, we will demonstrate our world-leading control systems for automated guided vehicles, including fleet management system, software tools for commissioning and navigation capabilities. Our solution has resulted in greater efficiency and short return-on-investment at manufacturing sites and in warehouses for more than 50 years.

We are showcasing Zebra Workforce Connect which covers the entire spectrum of frontline needs from communication to collaboration, from information to safety, all in one connected platform – from software to hardware.
Joachim Goebel, Senior Account Manager Manufacturing, Zebra Technologies Germany
Our new Autonomous Logistics shows how edge computing is used to control and connect automated guided vehicles, particularly in a campus site.
Lutz Schneider, Product Owner Autonomous Logistics, T-Systems
We will demonstrate how Telit works with Ericsson Private 5G to orchestrate data from machines, robots and AGVs. Our Telit deviceWISE IIoT platform improves factory automation by securely collecting and transforming system and machine data at the edge. Manufacturers are able to implement a systems management approach for greater visibility and control over connected devices and data.
