Published: Oct. 30, 2019, 4:07 p.m.

Manufacturing has made astonishing progress in recent decades. But there are even greater changes to come, as the Internet itself undergoes its next level of transformation. 5g and WiFi 6 will be a big part of this, by fully enabling data-intensive manufacturing solutions like AI, virtual reality, advanced robotics, and predictive maintenance. The end result? Factories (and products!) that will be cleaner, safer, and more productive than ever before.

In this podcast, Cisco’s Kevin Delaney chats with some top experts on next-gen wireless, and how it can enable the next leap forward in manufacturing:
