How 5G enabled
Lack of standards, such as TIC 4.0, makes it difficult to achieve efficiency. Therefore, we take a stepwise approach whereby 5G will be an important enabler.

Application Logic
Description
Identify critical assets.
Collect event and/or timeseries data from these critical assets, potentially using sensors.
Collect camera images (fixed/drones/robotics/etc.) with image quality to be at least 720p.
Collect as much data as possible about selected assets and surroundings as ML models will be strengthened with more data.
Edge + 5G to be used for all time critical events.
Description
All edge-collected data will be stored long-term in Enterprise storage.
AI (ML) application and AI (MV) application requests the data it needs for model development from Enterprise storage to copy in its own storage cache.
Development of the ML model is done through an iterative process. A quality ML model (fully data-driven) will require multiple steps to detect anomalies and potential failures.
Models will be stored and maintained by AI applications.
Description
The process from data collection to execution of models is fully automated.
Only alerts to operations in case of anomalous data behavior. In other cases, over time AI capabilities will increase and execute decisions without operator involvement.
Various options for visualisation of entire operations (e.g., XR options on OpenXR platform).
Expected benefits
Increased autonomous decisions and activities to reduce reliance on physical manpower
Improved productivity
Key value created
Increased productivity through autonomous, AI-based decisions
