5G in Japan: Taisei Corporation-Remote control, NEC-Wireless plant: 5G business case
Japan 5G: Latest Business
Expectations are growing in the industrial field.
In addition to the features of “high speed and large capacity”,
“Low Latency”, where there is no delay in data,
Connect multiple / simultaneous terminals in the area ” multiple connections ”
This is because the features of 5G are expected to be used in industrial fields.
Taisei Corporation:
Demonstration experiments are underway to remotely control an unmanned dump truck in Tokyo.
The dump truck has a camera to check the surroundings,
The image reaches the workplace 200 meters away.
Workers operate the controller while watching the monitor, mining, transporting, and stacking earth and sand.
In that case, repurposed the game controller and swung the dump truck by moving the stick left and right.
This remote control:
Until now, it has been performed even at disaster sites, but with 4G radio waves, the problem is that the video stops or gets distorted.
5G enables smooth reception of detailed images of 2 million pixels, increasing stability and operability.
Taisei Corporation also transmitted the video to a research laboratory 30 km away, and confirmed that there was no disturbance or delay in the video.
Aim “Smart Factory”:
NEC:
We have obtained a “Local 5G” license from the government.
A dedicated laboratory is being created and demonstration experiments are being carried out in an attempt to make the factory wireless.
“Multi-connection” features:
We want to control hundreds of robots at the same time in one factory.
In today’s factories, many cables are connected to robots and cannot be easily moved.
