Ayrshire 5G Innovation Region - DPMC Implementation and Use Case Development

NMIS Digital team will support the implementation of 5G Infrastructure within the Digital Process Manufacturing Centre (DPMC) in North Ayrshire and provide a showcase of technology demonstrators enabled by 5G connectivity. The project will develop demonstrators across different industry applications including lone workers, AR/IoT systems, quality control, energy monitoring, and robotics, displaying the flexibility of 5G systems in manufacturing environments. NMIS will provide a comprehensive portfolio of use cases showcasing the value of 5G in manufacturing

This project will help North Ayrshire Council set up advanced 5G wireless technology at their manufacturing centre and create practical demonstrations of how 5G can improve manufacturing processes. The work includes developing training materials and showcasing real-world applications like worker safety systems, quality control using augmented reality, and automated manufacturing equipment - all to help local businesses understand and adopt 5G technology.

Successfully installed a 5G Mobile Private Network (MPN) at DPMC, demonstrating superior connectivity over Wi-Fi with lower latency and more stable performance in manufacturing environments.
Delivered three comprehensive use cases showcasing 5G's versatility: Manufacturing Operations (AR maintenance guidance for lone workers), Digital Product Passport Quality Control (enhanced inspection accuracy), and 5G Gamification (interactive learning)
