5G-VICTORI: Factories of the Future: Digital Utilities

The main objective of this UC was to automate the monitoring process and improve inspection methods and maintenance procedures of energy utilities as Factories of the Future, both for cost/time reduction and quality improvement. The idea is to showcase how 5G technology can integrate and deliver services that support these diverse applications simultaneously.

More specifically, three different scenarios were demonstrated:

• The application of mMTC-banded IoT architectures for preventive maintenance and monitoring of the factory assets.
• The support of uRLLC-type applications for real-time monitoring and automation in an industrial environment.
• The provision of eMBB services for smart CCTV surveillance applications.

To support the Smart Factory services, where each one of them imposes a substantially different set of KPIs, QoS mechanisms and schemes to the overall architecture, three dedicated slices are instantiated concurrently on the network. Each slice corresponds to a different service:

• A slice responsible for the timely collection of HV power cable sensor data from the two ADMIE sites at Rio and Antirio
• An eMBB slice for providing high-bandwidth communications to address sensor data collection, fusion and storage to the cloud
• An eMBB slice for providing high-quality live video streaming dedicated to smart facility monitoring and inspection.
