Gestamp's smart factory is based on the concept of the digital twin: a virtual model of a real factory that allows the production process to be optimised, thus becoming a valuable decision-making tool. Specifically, we have connected the physical elements of the plant via 5G, to capture and process in real time the data produced by such industrial equipment during its operation, through the near computing made possible by Multi Access Edge Computing (MEC). In this way, the data collected from the different industrial devices is processed to generate a more intelligent model, so that the representation of reality is as faithful as possible and allows scenarios to be validated and appropriate decisions to be taken.

Highlights of the success story

Better decisions in an agile and accurate manner

5G technology, coupled with Edge Computing, allows to connect the physical elements of the factory with virtual models residing on the network, which enables the industry to make the best decisions in an agile and accurate way.

Availability of Digital Twin

We have been able to achieve very satisfactory 5G communication times from the factory. This makes it possible to have digital twin capabilities enabled on our Edge with full security and efficiency.

What others say about us

    "5G will allow the industry to respond in a much more precise way to the demands of today's society".
