Remote monitoring and maintenance of facilities, infrastructure & personnel

By equipping their plant with IoT-connected sensors, energy companies can continuously collect and analyse data about the condition and operation of facilities, sometimes enabling them to detect when maintenance on a piece of equipment is required before it fails, and thus minimise the amount of expensive down-time. The maintenance can also be carried out remotely in many cases, either by upgrading software, or by operating IoT-connected actuators.

Personnel can also be monitored by using IoT-connected biometric clothing, to measure and control their exposure to hazardous situations

As the capabilities of mobile networks improve, both monitoring and maintenance activities can be enhanced further. As networks’ data capacity improvise, monitoring input will increasingly include footage from video surveillance cameras, enabling visual inspection by human operatives and, as the technology improves, by AI systems capable of handling video data. As network latency and reliability improve, it will be possible to carry out remote maintenance not just via actuators, but also via mobile robots, either under the control of remote human operators, or under the control of computer systems, as appropriate.

International Workshop on Vertical Industries & Services for 5G (VIS5G): In Ljubljana, a Vision for the Future of 5G

As exciting as the technology advances of 5G are, its real future lies in successful and widespread take-up by the vast array of vertical sectors that stand to benefit from its features. But this take-up won’t happen automatically – a rich and constant dialogue both at the technical and application levels must arise between the technology providers and the vertical industry stakeholders. That was the vision of the VIS5G Workshop: to nurture this dialogue into self-sustaining momentum.

EC launches 5G PPP Phase 3 with three new projects

Three new 5G PPP projects were introduced in an EuCNC Special Session chaired by David Kennedy, the To-Euro-5G project coordinator, in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The projects starting on 1 July 2018 – 5G EVE5G-VINNI and 5GENESIS – will address the challenge of H2020 EC 5G PPP ICT-17-2018: 5G End to End Facility. These three projects were selected on merit from 16 proposals received and will run for 3 years.
