Digital engineering and solutions company GlobalLogic has deployed a private 5G network for Hitachi Rail\u2019s facility in Hagerstown, Maryland, USA, in collaboration with Swedish telecom gear maker Ericsson. <\/p>\n
The companies said in a joint statement Thursday that the 5G network is enabling advanced automation, worker safety, and the scalability of innovative industrial solutions at the 307,000 square foot factory. <\/p>\n
The Hagerstown facility, capable of producing up to 20 railcars each month, is strategically positioned to meet the growing demand for advanced rail manufacturing across North America, while setting a new benchmark for digital-first, smart manufacturing, Ericsson and GlobalLogic said. <\/p>\n
As an Ericsson private 5G ecosystem partner, GlobalLogic was responsible for technical and business consulting, full deployment and integration of the dedicated high-speed wireless broadband network into the plant\u2019s processes, as well as complete network lifecycle management and end-to-end service delivery. <\/p>\n
\u201cPrivate 5G connectivity is a game-changer for advanced manufacturing environments. This secure, high-performance connectivity allows us to automate more processes, protect our workforce, and accelerate innovation,\u201d said Joe Pozza, president of North America, Hitachi Rail. <\/p>\n
According to GlobalLogic and Ericsson, a private 5G network could pave the way for physical artificial intelligence (AI), digital twins, predictive maintenance, automated quality inspections, and IoT-driven material transport in industrial environments. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis project in Hagerstown shows how private 5G can power everything from predictive maintenance to collaborative robotics, while reducing energy usage and downtime,\u201d said Alan Minney, senior director (global strategic partnerships for enterprise), Ericsson. <\/p>\n
\u201cBuilding on our partnership with Ericsson and working closely with the Hitachi Rail team, we are delivering ultra-reliable, low-latency, and secure wireless connectivity,\u201d said Sameer Tikoo, group vice president (communications & network provider business unit), GlobalLogic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
