From manufacturing to shipping, companies are leveraging 5G technology to enhance operational efficiency, security, and connectivity. A Tainan-based cable factory, for example, dramatically reduced production readjustment times from two weeks to two days through a private 5G network and AI-driven IoT applications. Such networks offer unparalleled data processing speeds and bandwidth, enabling the use of digital twin technology for real-time, virtual replicas of physical systems.
The innovation not only simplifies processes but also empowers less technically savvy operators with decision-making capabilities. The adoption of private 5G networks is facilitating safer, more efficient operations in sectors as diverse as tunnel surveillance and steel transportation, while also improving the quality of life for ship crews through enhanced communication and safety measures.
With about 150 private 5G networks already operational, Taiwan is paving the way for a new era of technological advancement and industry optimization, despite slower uptake in public 5G services. The movement toward private 5G signifies a robust future for enterprise solutions and a model for global market development.
