Use Cases

Customer Background & Challenges

Taiwan’s manufacturing sector is characterized by high-mix, low-volume production, requiring frequent adjustments to production lines to meet diverse and rapidly changing customer orders.
At Ta Ya Electric Wire & Cable, this meant regularly reconfiguring equipment and workflows to support different cable specifications and production requirements.

However, the existing network environment made this process costly and time-consuming:

• Production line reconfiguration required weeks to complete, mainly due to rewiring and reconnecting network-dependent equipment.
• Any downtime during these adjustments directly translated into operational costs, affecting overall productivity and delivery schedules.
• Wi-Fi was unstable in areas with long metal structures and industrial interference and had a lower security level, further complicating layout changes.

These limitations reduced manufacturing agility and hindered Ta Ya’s ability to respond efficiently to customer demand.

The Private 5G Network Solution Powered by Saviah 5GC

Ta Ya Electric Wire & Cable, Pioneer Machinery, and Transnet jointly deployed a private 5G standalone (SA) network in Ta Ya’s 170 m × 23 m factory in Tainan, featuring a 5G RAN architecture with 4 RUs and 1 CDU.

The private 5G network provides:

• Reliable, secure, and mobility-friendly factory-wide wireless coverage
• Support for AIoT applications
• Enablement of building-block–type flexible smart production lines

With private 5G, the factory gained the wireless stability and flexibility required for continuous production line optimization.
