 John Deere's Kiel Ronning provides some fresh insight into how 5G-powered private networks are weaving their way into smart manufacturing, enabling the company to take advantage of low latencies, speed and other important performance metrics that make factories run more efficiently and flexibly. Ronning also considers how private networks will play into John Deere's short- and long-term plans and how the company can integrate IoT devices into private network environments. "We think this is a key turning point for us to ... introduce cellular connectivity in our factories so that we can take advantage of the low-latency, high-bandwidth and QoS components that come with that," he says. This interview was recorded during the Big 5G Event in Denver.
