Inventec and Microsoft team up to deliver smart factory solutions using Azure Private 5G Core

Inventec, a global leader in cloud computing, IoT, intelligent devices, and wireless communication, has partnered with Microsoft to launch industry-leading 5G connectivity solutions. These solutions are built upon Microsoft’s Azure Private 5G Core and Intel’s 5G-optimized CPUs for private 5G networks.

Inventec’s 5G Private Network Solution and 5G Enabled Digital Twins are now available on the Azure Marketplace. With Azure Private 5G Core, organizations can deploy and manage private 5G networks at the enterprise edge easily and securely.

Inventec deployed Azure Private 5G Core network in its Taoyuan factory to test its scalability, simplicity, and security. The test transformed a conventional production line into a 5G-enabled smart factory, resulting in a significant return on investment.

Inventec, Microsoft, and Intel established the 5G Next Lab in Taiwan to provide a working space for partners to collaborate on end-to-end industry solutions based on Azure Private 5G Core. The first showcase is the collaboration between Inventec and Microsoft to create end-to-end solutions for smart factories.

The solutions integrate Inventec’s 5G private network solutions, NEXCOM’s AIoT Industry 4.0 cross-border integration systems and solutions, and Microsoft HoloLens to build smart factories. This integrated solution was first adopted by NEXCOM in its HwaYa factory and will be promoted to other manufacturers with unmatched customer benefits.

Sam Yeh, Executive VP of Inventec Strategy Center, said, “We are proud to be a decade-long member of Microsoft’s rich partner ecosystem. Our cross-domain collaboration with Microsoft ranges from laptops and servers in the IT domain and now to 5G in the CT domain. With the global launch of Microsoft Azure Private 5G Core, Inventec looks forward to onboarding new customers to enjoy all the benefits provided by innovative 5G connectivity at the enterprise edge.”

Shriraj Gaglani, VP Product Management, Microsoft, said, “As we power the 5G Next Lab with Inventec, we look forward to exploring the next generation of 5G, IoT, and AI solutions that will have the potential to unlock new and innovative services for enterprises across the world to accelerate their transformation toward Industry 4.0.”
