Private 5G Connectivity for Manufacturing 4.0 in the Age of Industrial Intelligence

Purpose-built connectivity for manufacturing’s toughest demands

Why is it Time to Rethink Wireless in Manufacturing

Industry 4.0 is transforming how factories operate. From autonomous vehicles and mobile robotics to smart sensors and connected workers, real-time connectivity has become mission-critical. But legacy Wi-Fi and wired just can’t keep up. They limit mobility and require costly re-cabling every time the factory layout changes.

  • Both wired and Wi-Fi networks cost more to scale, mandating extensive hardware, installation, and maintenance, driving up the total cost of ownership.
  • Wired internet connections suffer coverage issues, causing frequent interference in metal-heavy environments, leading to dead zones and productivity interference.
  • Frequent connection drops during handoffs make it unreliable for AGVs, AMRs and mobile workers.

Use cases of private wireless in manufacturing​

Manufacturers are rapidly adopting technologies like connected workers, autonomous vehicles, and AI-powered automation to stay competitive. From keeping AGVs in motion to ensuring worker safety with HD video and streamlining workflows with intelligent systems — these innovations all rely on one thing: reliable, high-performance connectivity. Private 5G gives enterprises the wireless backbone they need to boost uptime, cut delays, and operate with confidence.

Vice President and Chief Information Officer, LyondellBasell

Cargill operates over a thousand locations worldwide, many in remote or space‑constrained environments where traditional infrastructure just doesn’t work. [This] gives us a secure, scalable private 5G solution that supports the growing role of AI and automation across our operations. Its innovative design and cloud‑based management simplify deployment by eliminating the need for dedicated IT personnel at each location.

Director of Platform Engineering for Digital Technology, Cargill

If I had to continue to deal with the Wi‑Fi issues I have to deal with every day at the plant, I’d have to hire more people. And frankly, that wouldn’t even fix the technical challenges that I have with using Wi‑Fi technology within our environment. With Celona’s technology, all that goes away. The solution pays for itself.
