TEL-AVIV, Israel, March 10, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Plataine has
been announced as one of 11 industry partners to join the UK
Government's 5G-ENCODE project that will deliver a private 5G
network at the National Composites Centre in Bristol, UK. 5G-ENCODE will examine industrial
use cases and value propositions for the practical application of
5G wireless technology to upgrade composite design and production
processes at UK manufacturers – delivering radical productivity and
efficiency improvements. To support the project, Plataine will
implement its AI (Artificial Intelligence)-based Industrial IoT
solution that allows full material and asset tracking, predictive
alerts and optimized recommendations.
Plataine was selected due to its unique global experience at
applying IIoT solutions to composites manufacturing processes, for
customers as diverse as Airbus and Renault F1 Team. At the National
Composites Centre, Plataine will implement its AI-based Digital
Assistants, integrated with a locally deployed sensor network, to
deliver comprehensive material shelf-life tracking, management and
optimization capabilities. The solution will automatically track
time-sensitive raw materials, predict remaining exposure time and
optimally select the most appropriate material for each job at
hand; minimizing waste and ensuring production deadlines are met,
while maintaining full traceability of the products' Digital
Thread. In addition, automated real-time tool tracking ensures
production schedules are no longer disrupted by lost tools, and
AI-based Digital Assistants offer predictive quality alerts,
actionable insights and real-time maintenance recommendations to
staff.
Dr. Enrique Garcia, CTO at the
NCC said: "As world-leaders in composite research, the NCC provides
beyond state-of-the-art capabilities for industry. An industrial
scale 5G test bed at the NCC will showcase a step change in
security, reliability and connectivity, providing companies of all
sizes a risk-free environment to evaluate and capitalise on the
capabilities offered by 5G. The test bed is part our wider Digital
Engineering strategy in the West of England which will form a national asset to
catapult the application of digital technologies into the
engineering sector. This programme affords us and our industrial
partners a unique opportunity to collaborate with prominent experts
in the telecommunication, digital and software industry. We are
delighted to be a part of such a rare multi sectoral
consortium."
Avner Ben-Bassat, President and
CEO of Plataine, adds: "The 5G-ENCODE project will apply 5G-enabled
technologies to manufacturing, integrated with Plataine's
Digitization and AI solutions to improve efficiency with industrial
systems management. Automating and optimizing manufacturing is
absolutely at the core of Plataine's offering, and we are very
excited to be working on this ground-breaking project."
