This webinar explores how manufacturers can build a strong business case for Private 5G by demonstrating ROI through productivity gains, safety improvements, and long-term cost efficiency. It highlights how legacy Wi-Fi falls short in industrial environments, while Private 5G enables reliable, wide-range connectivity to power Industry 4.0 initiatives. Real-world insights from LyondellBasell showcase how Celona’s Private 5G simplifies deployment, enhances safety, and unlocks new operational value.

• Legacy plants rely heavily on outdated wired systems and limited Wi-Fi coverage, which struggles with range, latency, and safety compliance in industrial environments.
• Private 5G Offers wider, more reliable, and safer connectivity with fewer access points, enabling seamless Industry 4.0 use cases—such as IoT sensors, AI-driven monitoring, and automation—where Wi-Fi falls short.
• ROI goes beyond cost and efficiency-it includes worker safety, environmental compliance, and cost avoidance. For instance, monitoring PPE compliance via cameras can prevent costly incidents.
• Greenfield sites benefit most from Private 5G due to simpler deployment, while brownfield sites face higher costs due to retrofitting and safety constraints. Funding can often be redirected from Wi-Fi refresh budgets.
• Executive-backed rollout of Celona Private 5G enabled critical wireless infrastructure to support innovation and safety. The decision favored Celona for its minimal hardware, ease of management, and proven industrial performance.
