Supply chain issues and labor shortages have created a new trend in manufacturing: bring work back to the US while attracting a smaller but engaged workforce. To do so, manufacturers must maximize space, equipment, and resources to create goods with the greatest efficiency. That’s not easy.

Automation can be the key, but it also requires juggling a lot of moving parts. Automated storage and retrieval, robotics for conveyor and sortation systems, autonomous mobile robots and consistent staff communications all require seamless connectivity. Relying on Wi-Fi can mean bandwidth interruptions and production stoppages. Not to mention security concerns. And wired networks can’t address production needs that change over time. Now, thanks to innovations in private 4G/5G networks you can replace those problems with superior connectivity that’s reliable and secure.
