The 5G Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation (5g-acia.org) is a central global forum for shaping 5G standards for industrial and IoT applications.

5G-ACIA members including an array of industrial automation and connectivity suppliers are jointly preparing for the disruptive changes that 5G will bring, promote a better understanding of industrial needs, and gain insights into a highly attractive emerging market.

As Dr Andreas Müller (Bosch), Chairman of 5G-ACIA, stated: “With the publication of initial standards, and the availability of the first chipsets and infrastructure components, 5G is quickly gaining momentum. This is reflected clearly in the diverse 5G-related activities at this year’s Hanover trade fair. In fact, many companies are beginning to recognise the crucial role this technology will play in the digital transformation of their businesses. At the same time, it is becoming apparent to the ICT industry that 5G for manufacturing has great potential for their business as well.”
