Turkish startups, giants team up for 5G-backed manufacturing digitalization

Türkiye’s main shopper durables and electronics producer Arçelik has unveiled the primary initiatives developed inside the scope of a program geared toward supporting the event of producing business expertise options with 5G infrastructure.

Backed by the 5G@EndTech program, initiated in cooperation with Nokia and Türk Telekom, expertise firms have developed options that may improve productiveness, value and security within the manufacturing business, from occupational well being and security to instantaneous inspection and monitoring at a manufacturing facility, utilizing 5G expertise.

The initiatives have been unveiled on the Garage Innovation Hub at Arçelik’s Çayırova-based campus in a ceremony attended by Industry and Technology Minister Mustafa Varank.

Arçelik developed 13 initiatives so far with expertise firms inside the scope of the 5G@EndTech Program, established beneath the auspices of the Industry and Technology Ministry, in cooperation with the Presidential Investment Office, the Small and Medium Enterprises Development and Support Administration (KOSGEB) and Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye’s (TÜBITAK) Turkish Management Sciences Institute (TÜSSIDE), and run by Nokia and Türk Telekom.

The Demo Day occasion at Garage Innovation Hub showcased the initiatives which were developed as a part of this system that seeks to assist new 5G infrastructure expertise options for the manufacturing business and the commercialization of those merchandise.

Global competitiveness

Addressing the occasion, Varank mentioned every part these days is interconnected and interacts in a world the place the standards of innovation is especially primarily based on the prevalence, pace and reliability of telecommunication methods.

“In the coming years, 5G and beyond technologies will play a decisive role in global competitiveness and prosperity. By taking voice, data and image transmission to an advanced dimension, it will bring innovations in many fields such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, augmented reality, robotics and production technologies,” the minister mentioned.

“Nowadays, when autonomous vehicle technologies are starting to take place in our lives more and more, thanks to 5G, vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-infrastructure communication can be provided smoothly with minimal data and time loss,” Varank famous.

25 million jobs

Varank acknowledged that 5G is anticipated to generate an financial worth of $3.8 trillion and near 25 million jobs within the international market by the tip of 2035.

“The applications to be developed in the manufacturing sector will constitute an important part of this value. In this sense, we are also carrying out robust studies in order to become one of the leading countries in 5G technology,” he harassed.

“Within the scope of the program, 13 technology companies were provided with all kinds of support at the point of productization and commercialization of their ideas. Our initiatives have presented their usage scenarios today. We have achieved very important results in what we can call very short periods of time.”

5G benefit in manufacturing

Drawing consideration to the significance of the open innovation method and public-private sector cooperation, Fatih Kemal Ebiçlioğlu, head of Koç Holding’s sturdy shopper items group, mentioned the initiatives developed thus far inside the scope of the 5G@EndTech additionally encourage them to design related applications sooner or later.

“5G has critical importance in data collection, processing, transmission and management for digital transformation in production. While implementing previously impossible applications in production with 5G technology, we will be able to make the processes that take hours much faster,” Ebiçlioğlu famous.

“As Arçelik, we had the chance to see in practice what can be done in the manufacturing industry with 5G technologies at the Demo Day, which we are extremely happy to host today. Open innovation is one of the most important ways to further develop and strengthen innovation and innovation culture. We are proud to support open innovation in this field with the 5G@EndTech Initiative Acceleration Program,” he added.

Setup for good factories

Also addressing the occasion, Yusuf Kıraç, deputy basic supervisor at Türk Telekom accountable for expertise, mentioned the corporate is creating options that improve productiveness with initiatives it has created on the premise of good factories.

“In this context, the ‘Smart Factory’ application that we have implemented with Arçelik and Nokia has the distinction of being Türkiye’s first industrial private network solution,” Kıraç famous.

“As the leading company supporting entrepreneurship and innovation in corporate terms in Türkiye, we aimed to support domestic and national initiatives by implementing the 5G@EndTech program with our valued business partners. We have established the 5G network infrastructure needed by startups at the Arçelik Çayırova factory and we have provided 5G training to startups and provided technology mentoring to them by transferring our knowledge and experience,” he mentioned.

Autonomous robots

The Demo Day occasion noticed the exhibition of all types of options that may improve pace, lower error and accident charges in manufacturing and increase productiveness.

The initiatives developed by the 13 expertise firms included an autonomous drone with synthetic intelligence supported by a 5G connection that may detect safety dangers within the campus space and a robotic that detects and experiences occupational well being and security issues with picture processing.

They additionally featured a sightseeing robotic with the power to make autonomous digital manufacturing facility journeys with 5G infrastructure and industrial options that may carry out predictive upkeep with 5G and/or change conventional wired methods.
