ITN-5GSmartFact

5GSmartFact is an MSCA-ITN project funded by the EU whose objective is to study, develop, optimize and assess the deployment of 5G networks that target the IIoT requirements (in terms of availability, ultra-low latency, reliability, amount of supported devices, localization accuracy and energy efficiency) in factory environments, and exploit them to integrate factory applications (especially those related to robot-control and robot navigation) which might lead to a complete redesign of robot architectures and hence to a leap forward in the industry automation. 5GSmartFact has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement ID 956670. 5GSmartFact consortium is composed of academia (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Aalborg University), research centres (i2Cat, Centre National pour la Recherche Scientifique), 5G companies (NEC, Nokia, Siradel) and companies in factory automation (ABB, Robert Bosch, Ingeniarius, Roboception), together with supporting institutions (ESADE, Universidade de Coimbra, Université Paris-Saclay).
