Vertical: Fiber optic cables
Application: Quality Inspection
Ecosystem: Verizon, Amazon Outposts, Gestalt Robotics
Private Network:5G
Corning uses mobile robots to monitor work-in-progress at its optical fiber factory in Northern Carolina to achieve rigorous quality standards in its factory. In addition, Verizon is collaborating with Amazon for a Private 5G Mobile Edge Compute service with AWS Outposts, a Private MEC, a piece of the Amazon cloud at the edge, to run the “sensing-as-a-service” from Gestalt Robotics. Amazon’s Wave edge platform lowers latencies for enterprise applications. Mobile robots look for quality shortfalls with computer vision, and the data is processed at the edge in real-time to prevent faulty parts from becoming parts of final products.
