5G Industrial Router Enables 5G LAN Smart Factory Solutions
I. Industry Solutions Background
5G is an industry trend
In recent years, with the booming development of 5G technology, the closer integration of information technology and enterprise development has become a major trend in the future development of enterprises.The integration of 5G and industrial networks has undoubtedly become an important application scenario for the future 5G network.
However, in the traditional factory manufacturing, most of the equipment working in the network layer two (L2) layer three (L3) network environment, that is, all the equipment in the same local area network, and equipment access to the network generally use the wired way, its cost is higher, wiring construction is more difficult, and the use of 4G technology to transform and face the problem of network delay. Therefore, 5G network has become a widely used demand for industrial scenarios, and the use of 5G combined with 5G LAN technology can more quickly solve the problems faced by enterprises today.
5G LAN concept kicks off to drive deeper IT/OT convergence
As early as 2020, the 5G Vertical Industry Use Cases published by GSMA mentioned that by assisting enterprises to build wireless private networks, it can help them reduce costs, increase efficiency, improve quality and increase revenue. In current industry and industrial networks, devices face cable mobility limitations, high fibre rollout costs, poor WiFi coverage security and lack of mobility. In the traditional wireless private network services, industry users can only get IP type access links, can not get the commonly used Ethernet type links, and link configurability is poor, the application mode is cured, these problems hinder the scale and flexibility of the enterprise wireless private network.
Based on this industry background, 3GPP defined 5G LAN technology in the R-16 phase. Based on 5G LAN technology, it provides customers with Layer 3 VPN services (IP VRF forwarding) and Layer 2 LAN services (Ethernet LAN), while supporting user mobility, sub-network support, and sub-network-based management capabilities; moreover, 5G LAN technology plays an important role in promoting the deep convergence of IT/OT in the industrial Internet, and facilitating the construction of fully-connected factories. The 5G LAN technology plays an important role in promoting the deep IT/OT convergence of industrial internet and facilitating the construction of fully connected factory.
To build industrial internet, Sikyote 5G industrial router becomes the main force
Industrial routers play a crucial role in industrial application scenarios, and are an important network foundation for normal operation and work of industrial Internet; they can directly connect industrial machines and equipment for data collection, and through real-time massive data transmission, enable managers to easily grasp the production and operation situation at different times and regions. 5G LAN not only has the advantages of original cellular network LAN resource sharing, fast network deployment and security protection, but also further increases new application functions such as Layer 2 communication, broadcast/multicast, etc., which enhances the penetration rate of LAN in industrial Internet scenarios.
5G series industrial routers all support 5G LAN technology, which can simultaneously provide L3 layer IP service and L2 layer LAN service to achieve effective isolation of service and management. And through the 5G LAN feature, it provides high-speed and stable network access for remote devices, which makes the data interaction between terminal devices and the platform more efficient, and can satisfy the user’s demand for high-speed, super-large link, ultra-low latency, and secure transmission.
Not only that, 5GLAN technology has obvious advantages such as plug-and-play, cross-domain networking, network certainty, etc., which has a very broad application prospect in the fields of campus network construction and industrial PLC. The ChenAnIoT 5G industrial router with 5G LAN technology can not only save the cost of industrial Internet network construction, but also reduce the difficulty of production line 5G transformation and industrial Internet maintenance, and realise flexible adaptation, thus greatly improving the production efficiency.
II. Introduction to the programme
In order to create a customisable and manageable private network, ChenAnIoT launched 5G LAN solution based on 5G industrial router. The solution is mainly applied to intelligent manufacturing production lines, connecting factory equipment through 5G industrial routers, providing high-performance, high-speed, high-reliability, low-latency 5G network for equipment connection, transmitting factory site data to the back-end operation and maintenance management platform in real time, and constructing an all-around information system that connects people and machines inside and outside of the factory to achieve a comprehensive upgrading of factory maintenance, on-demand allocation of production resources, and personalised production. Production.
At the same time, for the factory private network environment, using 5G LAN function to achieve all terminal devices to communicate with each other, the cloud platform can be deployed to the customer server, to achieve centralised management and monitoring maintenance of factory terminal devices.
ChenAnIoT 5G industrial router supports 5G wireless network deployment, which can realise functions such as remote control and core production data collection. Currently, it has been deployed to build 5G private network in cooperation with domestic and foreign well-known base station manufacturers and operators.
III. Programme strengths
Dataisation
The solution uses 5G LAN technology to achieve efficient information interconnection between equipment. Operators can achieve the collection of dynamic production data such as production equipment, materials and finished products, so as to grasp the production operation situation in a timely manner, realise seamless connection between the production environment and the information system, and enhance the on-site perception and monitoring capability to satisfy the factory’s 24-hour monitoring needs.
Integration
Construction of enterprise information integration platform, to achieve seamless connection of upstream and downstream data, upward support for business management, downward highly integrated with the real-time data of the production process, to form a complete and reliable production chain, to make the plan available and controllable, the plan implementation transparent, the production cycle controllable, and to enhance the utilisation rate of equipment resources.
Visualisation
Equipment production process is controlled in real time, to ensure stable and controllable product quality; at the same time, it can achieve a large data screen, timely warning of abnormal problems, administrators find the problem in the first time, timely adjustment of production plans to improve business management decision-making.
Focus on user needs to empower the digital transformation of the industry
At present, the commercialisation process of 5G LAN technology continues to advance, attracting more and more IoT vendors with its advantages of low cost, easy deployment and low latency. In the future, ChenAnIoT will continue to plough into R16 and other cutting-edge technologies in the IoT industry, focus on the needs of industry users, and join hands with its partners to continuously launch IoT terminals with better performance and cost-effective products, so as to empower the digital transformation of IoT in thousands of industries.
