Description: 5G will make farms more efficient and more profitable, and factory jobs are expected to see a lot of change as well.

 SPEAKER 1: A lot of people in the manufacturing industry are very excited about the potential of 5G. Already the factory floor is getting highly automated, and there are machines that assemble your iPhone or your car. And one of their biggest challenges is getting all the information and controlled data around the factory. Communications between the machines can be interrupted. With 5G, it's much easier for the machines to be freed from wires and from needing to be in the right place to get their Wi-Fi signal. So it gives the factories tremendous flexibility. There are already experiments showing that 5G on the factory floor can do a lot more to control machines precisely, make sure they stay safe. And it enables us to start to move to an era where artificial intelligence and machine learning programs are looking at the manufacturing process in very close detail, using visual sensors, temperature sensors, other things, feeding this back into the 5G network and hopefully optimizing the whole process and making the factory more efficient and more profitable. In addition to manufacturing, agriculture is another sector where 5G could be extremely useful and create all kinds of new capabilities. Agriculture is already undergoing a tech revolution that they call precision agriculture, which is using sensors to try and minimize the amount of water, fertilizer, and pesticides that have to be used to just the most efficient amounts. That's better for the planet, it lowers costs for the farms, and it creates the optimal crop. But 5G is going to enhance the capabilities of precision agriculture, because many more inexpensive sensors spread throughout farms will be able to report back into a server that can then use programs to help tell the farmers what needs to be done to make the crops grow most efficiently and most cost effectively. In areas like manufacturing and agriculture, there's already a rich vein of experiments and pilot programs going on all over the world. We can start to see some of the benefits, some of the obvious efficiencies and gains that those industries can make using 5G wireless technology. And if you start to think five or 10 years out, it really looks like the impact is going to be significant.

5G Will Have Big Impact on Farms and Factory Floors

5G will make farms more efficient and more profitable, and factory jobs are expected to see a lot of change as well.

Ah, a lot of people. The manufacturing industry are very excited about the potential of five G. Already, the factory floor is getting highly automated and their machines that assemble your iPhone or your car and one of their biggest challenge is getting all the information and control data around the factory. Communications between the machines can be interrupted with five G. It's much easier for the machine to be freed from wires and from needing to be in the right place to get their WiFi signal, so it gives the factory's tremendous flexibility there. Already. Experiments showing that five G on the factory floor can do a lot more to control machines precisely, make sure they stay safe. And it enables us to start to move to an era where artificial intelligence and machine learning programs are looking at the manufacturing process. Very close detail, using visual sensors, temperature sensors, other things, feeding them back into the five G network and hopefully optimizing the whole process in making factory more efficient and more profitable. In addition to manufacturing, agriculture is another sector where five G could be extremely useful and create all kinds of new capabilities. Agriculture is already undergoing tech revolution that they call precision agriculture, which is using sensors to try and minimize the amount of water, fertilizer and pesticides that have to be used just the most efficient amount. That's better for the planet. Lowers costs for the farm and create the optimal crop. But five G is gonna enhance the capabilities of precision agriculture because many more sensors, inexpensive sensors spread throughout farms will be able to report back into server that can then use programs. Help tell the farmers what needs to be done to make the crops grow most efficiently and most cost effective in areas like manufacturing and agriculture. There's already a rich vein of experiments and pilot programs going on all over the world.
