The 5G sector is anticipating a revolutionary “iPhone moment” as new technology helps companies in a range of fields pay less, earn more, and become more autonomous.

Until mid-2023, many Taiwanese manufacturers were frustrated by the trend of customers placing small-batch orders. For one Tainan-based cable factory, for example, each new order required a total reorganization of the production process, causing operations to be suspended for up to two weeks. A major reason for the delay was that all the equipment had to be physically connected through a complex network of wires. 

But thanks to some significant technological upgrades, the factory’s average downtime for such readjustment has now been reduced to just two days. A private 5G network, in combination with an artificial-intelligence-driven Internet of Things (IoT) application, has replaced the previous “wiring spaghetti” to simplify the production-line modifications.
