- Intel, EXOR International, TIM, and JMA Wireless collaborate to demonstrate the benefits of on-premise 5G private network alongside AI.
What’s New?
Intel, EXOR International, TIM, and JMA Wireless teamed together to build an end-to-end smart factory in Verona, Italy, as an example of the benefits of Industry 4.0 digitalization to manufacturers of all sizes. Based on a breadth of Intel products, including Intel Atom processors, Intel Xeon Scalable processors, Intel FPGAs, Intel Edge Controls for Industrial software, and Intel Edge Insights for Industrial software, the factory shows what is possible with the latest networking, cloud, and edge computing technologies in an agile and modular application environment.

“We built this smart factory from the ground up to take advantage of the latest 5G and AI technologies from TIM and Intel. Our smart factory in Verona will demonstrate that digitalization can happen at any scale. This is increasingly important for small and mid-sized manufacturers who are looking to stay innovative and competitive in the market. We can’t wait to share what is now possible for manufacturers of all sizes with Industry 4.0 solutions.”–Claudio Ambra, chief technical officer of EXOR International
Why It Matters?
The global smart manufacturing market is expected to reach roughly $506 billion by 2027 – a compound annual growth rate of 12.2%. Manufacturers are evaluating ways to take advantage of industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G to reduce maintenance and energy costs and improve workforce productivity. Yet, questions remain. EXOR’s smart factory aims to demonstrate the operational benefits of digitalization, including:
- Autonomous human resources scheduling, reacting to changes in orders and employee availability in real-time.
- A clear indicator of whether everything planned for the week, including supplies, components, and documentation, is in order and ready for production.
- Real-time updates on order status and work-in-progress advancements, regardless of order size.
