If your remote dozer in the field hits a boulder, the simulator will lurch as hard as the machine in the field. With the lower latency and all the sensors and data that 5G can pour into a simulator application, the seat-of-the-pants feel on a simulator can be made as real as it is in the field, says Varney. But the lower the latency, the better your response time.” “You want to have the best control you can. “When you’re trying to control equipment remotely, you do not want any lag time,” he says. The cloud is a much bigger, more powerful and versatile computer than anything you can hold in your hand – this will lower the cost of all these devices, and drastically cut the battery drain and weight. The data rates anticipated with 5G networks will open completely new perspectives on this, especially for building construction, he says.ĥG will also take much of the computer processing that happens on your tablet, laptop or phone and move it to the cloud, says Joe Mosele, vice president mobility, IoT and 5G for AT&T Industry Solutions in the US. Many of today’s data acquisition processes, such as point clouds, images, or simultaneous localisation and mapping data are already run on cloud-based solutions and near real-time processing, says Ulrich Hermanski, CMO and executive vice president at Topcon Positioning Group. But to fulfil this vision – to control a large number of IoT (Internet of Things) devices and get fully functional, real-time augmented reality and mixed reality on the jobsite – the industry needs the low latency and higher bandwidths that only 5G can provide, he says.
Today’s technology can connect the field and the shop with the office and drive autonomous machines, remote control, and some artificial intelligence, says Aviad Almagor, vice president of technology innovation at Trimble. Manufacturers are keeping quiet about their plans, but when those applications and machines emerge it will change everything. 5G, the fifth generation of wireless technology, is said by some to be the last piece of the puzzle OEMs and technology companies have wanted for years.
