Future Technologies is using Intel-based solutions to lead the way in helping to revolutionize the manufacturing industry by transforming the network to support industrial automation.
Suwannee, Georgia, January 24, 2024(BUSINESS WIRE)–Future Technologies Venture, LLC (“Future Technologies”) announces multiple multi-million dollar 5G contracts for several Fortune 100, Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 manufacturing customers in the US market. Private cellular networks are being rapidly adopted by industrial organizations due to their ability to provide highly reliable, low-latency communications, enabling seamless connectivity and real-time data exchange to enhance automation, efficiency and overall operational agility. Future Technologies works closely with its various ecosystem partners like Intel to offer these end-to-end solutions to its customers, right from defining network requirements to second-day support.
“Future Technologies has been building private cellular networks since 2010 and is very well positioned based on our experience to help these customers transform their networks for advanced use cases, coverage applications, and IT and OT network convergence.” said Peter Capello, CEO of Future Technologies. “With a growing open pipeline of over $150 million in private networks, we see 2024 as a year of growth in this space to expand our capabilities to a broader range of customers.”
Latest private cellular communications (4G/5G) projects related to manufacturing:
Fortune 100 client project to design, furnish, deliver and maintain a 5,000,000 square foot production site to enable Autonomous Mobile Robotics (AMR). This project is a multi-year, multi-million dollar project and will enable this advanced use case to help enhance operational efficiency at this large production facility.
Award-winning Fortune 500 customers fully implemented enabling a proprietary 4G/5G wireless coverage solution based on Intel architecture at their production site to enable advanced use cases based on Intel Edge AI such as computer vision, connected worker, remote worker, and asset management through use from private cellular devices Enabling powerful scanners, tablets, and software frameworks like Intel OpenVINO. This network also connects its manufacturing line hardware (CNC and PLC) through cellular routers to take advantage of the low latency and high-capacity private cellular network.
Awarded Fortune 1000 customers in full production to run their critical industrial automation system for their material processing use case to enable connected readers, PLCs and digital devices. The private cellular network (4G/5G) was designed to replace legacy outdoor Wi-Fi that was at the end of its life and had challenges with interference. Future Technologies designed, implemented, and seamlessly segmented this network to enable this initial industrial automation use case for industrial automation and is now adding additional use cases to this new network layer to continue transforming the customer network.
Future Technologies emphasizes that Private Cellular is complementary to existing networking solutions such as wired, Wi-Fi and public cellular and aims to provide an additional connectivity option. Building on Future Technologies' 25 years of experience in network transformation, we see this as another step in our technology journey with our customers to help them leverage the best of each technology and in doing so actually extend the lifecycle of each product by customizing the right use case. for the correct network.
“We have a long-standing partnership with Future Technologies. The proprietary wireless design running on Intel's architecture and Edge AI assets demonstrates the diverse benefits of this successful collaboration and demonstrates Future Technologies' strength in this market. Private networking is a growth sector for Intel, and we are excited to see the Top 500 list Fortune embraces it” – Carolyn Chan, Vice President and General Manager, Private Networking and Wireless Incubation, Intel Corporation.
Future Technologies is celebrating 25 yearsy year in the industry, having begun as a satellite integrator in 1999 and evolving into its current position as a leading systems integrator supporting Fortune 5000 and federal government customers. Future Technologies also invested in the Living Lab at its Atlanta headquarters to provide a demonstration of proprietary 5G solutions, edge computing/MEC, and most importantly, industry-specific use cases, such as Connected Worker, device connectivity, remote worker, and augmented technologies. Reality/VR/Mixed Reality, asset health, inventory management, computer vision, IoT sensors, robotics and other solutions.
