GlobalLogic and Ericsson Enable Private 5G at Hitachi Rail

GlobalLogic Inc., part of the Hitachi Group and a leader in digital engineering, built a cutting-edge private 5G network. This network is now live at Hitachi Rail’s most advanced manufacturing site in Hagerstown, Maryland. This network, created with Ericsson, acts as the digital backbone of the 307,000-square-foot plant. It powers automation, keeps workers safe, and sparks scalable industrial innovation. The private 5G network opens up new industrial possibilities. It is changing rail manufacturing for the better. Real-time data capture and analysis enable physical AI applications. This helps systems like inspection robots and robot dogs spot defects. They can also support on-site additive manufacturing for spare parts and tools. Digital twin technology uses fast, reliable connectivity. It lets engineers simulate and improve railcars before they are built. This reduces errors and…
