Nokia, OIV Digital deliver first private 5G standalone network to Ad Plastik in Croatia
Nokia has partnered with OIV, a provider of national strategic communications infrastructure in Croatia, to deliver a 5G private wireless network solution that is expected to enhance operational efficiency and enable new capabilities at AD Plastik’s automotive component manufacturing facility in Croatia.
Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) application platform will enable low latency and secure, reliable 5G wireless connectivity for equipment, machinery, and a set of applications at AD Plastik’s manufacturing campus in Zagreb, Croatia. It will replace and overcome the limitations of the existing Wi-Fi infrastructure to allow AD Plastik to implement new Industry 4.0 use-cases and enhance operational efficiency.
The solution offers capabilities beyond connectivity, such as local edge computing, video services and a catalog of applications. It is a compact, easy-to-deploy platform, comprising network equipment, a cloud-based operation monitoring system and industrial connectors that ease standard and industry-specific protocol connectivity.
“Further digitalization and automation of business in our industry is simply a necessity,” explains Marinko Došen, President of AD Plastik Group. “Just as your chances on the market are significantly reduced if you produce vehicles that cannot be connected, so you have to keep up with trends in the production of automotive components. Industry 4.0 is our reality, and we must be ready to continue its implementation. 5G technology, in addition to being a hundred times faster than the existing one, allows us to simultaneously connect smart and digital devices that we use every day in our production, and which will be even more represented in the future. Simply put, at the moment it is the basis for connecting devices that will help us in the production and delivery processes, and for the future we create the preconditions for building a modern, digital and promising company.”
