…limits. So how will the much anticipated arrival of 5G affect the design software delivery, usage, and applications? Cloud-CAD pioneer Onshape and simulation software leader ANSYS share their thoughts. Cloud CAD in 5G 5G has already stirred up excitement among media streaming firms, such as Netflix and Hulu, for the promise to be able to deliver entertainment content in high resolution to mobile devices. But there's a distinction between Netflix-style streaming and Onshape-style cloud-hosted CAD. “We don't stream CAD data as graphics, so, in that sense, it's not like Netflix,” clarifies John McEleney, cofounder of Onshape. “We sent snippets of…

…what goes on around them—will continue to improve. 2. 5G is coming – but maybe not as fast as anyone would like Today’s mobile robots don’t require much infrastructure, so companies can easily start with one robot. However, as soon as facilities add more robots, they must have a way to connect and manage them. For now, at least, that depends on Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, most Wi-Fi infrastructures were not built for sharing data at this level. Once 5G is widely deployed, its stronger and more robust IT infrastructure will be a game changer for AMRs, enabling companies to efficiently deploy…

…robots harming people or other equipment. The shift from 5G to mesh networks There is a common view that 5G will forge the way for wireless connectivity in the years to come. While the applications for home use and other well-contained locations may make this viable, the same cannot be said for large or cavernous workplaces. They include open fields, underground mines, or warehouses. Using 5G in warehouses is like transmitting Morse code. Much like the way Morse code sends out a signal in dots and dashes in a direction, 5G sends a singular message in one direction as well.…
