Inventec, ASOCS, Affirmed Networks and Wave-in Communication announced the launch of the first fully-virtualized 5G standalone network used in commercial industrial manufacturing.

"The 5G network installed at Inventec Taoyuan is only the first stage of a 5G private network application in our smart factory project leading towards Industry 4.0," says Dr. Albert Chen, Inventec SVP and project lead. "Our goal is to significantly improve our factory efficiency and reduce manpower by implementing AI-based AOI in the assembly line. Previously, due to the network limitations, production machines were connected to a local computer to perform AI functions."

"After deploying a private 5G network provided by ASOCS and Affirmed Networks, we were able to link the production machines to a central server with more data and AI training. As a result, the production line straight-through rate rose from 70% to over 85%.".

"Leveraging our expertise in the telecommunication industry, we are currently involved in numerous other 5G private network projects in Taiwan, and after a thorough analysis of possible vendors we selected Affirmed Networks for the 5G Network Core and ASOCS for the 5G RAN.".

"We're very excited to be a part of Inventec's successful deployment of Taiwan's first 5G standalone network for Industry 4.0 applications, through our partnership with ASOCS' innovative 5G RAN solutions and Wave-In's highly skilled integrations team" said Sanjay Mewada, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer at Affirmed Networks.
