Technologies of the future enable connected workers, remote workers, and industrial automation to enhance worker safety and operational efficiency through network transformation.
Suwanee, Georgia, February 13, 2024(BUSINESS WIRE)– Future Technologies Venture, LLC (“Future Technologies”) has announced several private 5G projects in the North American chemical industry. Operating a chemical plant has inherent challenges due to the nature of the materials processed, the complexity of the processes, and the potential for adverse events. Because of these challenges, ensuring worker safety and monitoring and maintaining the operational integrity of mechanical assets and equipment is essential. The 5G private network not only provides the backbone for secure, low-latency communications, but also proves itself as a complementary, scalable solution to support the growing adoption of mission-critical applications across operational facilities.
“Private 5G technology can provide ubiquitous outdoor coverage to complement our customers' existing Wi-Fi and public cellular networks to provide mission-critical communications for their employees and enable a safer, more efficient workplace,” said Peter Capello, CEO of Future Technologies. “By using Private 5G as a complementary technology, we can help our customers optimize use cases on their legacy networks, and by doing so, we can enable them to get the most out of all their assets. We believe that Private 5G is a decision and,” Mr. Capello added. Not an “or” decision.
With 14 years of experience in private cellular communications, Future Technologies uses a proven six-step customer engagement process that begins with consulting services. Many enterprise customers have business requirements that must first be translated into technical requirements, and then into a business plan. Future Technologies has a co-operation model that leverages the company's 5G Living Lab to provide a digital dual network that includes Wi-Fi, Public Cellular, LoRaWAN, Bluetooth, fixed wireless, fiber and other legacy technologies. This provides a manageable workspace to think from problem statement to solution without undue disruption to our customers' production networks.
“Future Technologies has taken a proactive approach to providing a real-world live lab environment to help our customers see what is possible to transform the grid without disrupting their operational environment,” said Gary Hill, Future Technologies COO. “In my previous experience as a CTO at a large industrial client, we had to balance adopting new technology while maintaining our existing processes. Through our engagement model, we are able to help our clients accelerate their digital transformation journey using a proven methodology and a robust laboratory.” “Networks, and our many years of practical experience working in complex industrial environments,” Mr. Hill added.
Over the past three years, Future Technologies has partnered with its customers in the chemical market to enable proprietary 4G and 5G solutions to transform these infrastructure networks. They have seen profound traction in this market, with solutions first proven through single-site production deployments and now expanding across customer production facilities throughout North America. Future Technologies is focused on partnering with these customers to provide a scalable and efficient way to enable grid transformation through best practice services for site surveying, design, factory acceptance testing, deployment, and customer support to activate the grid while minimizing downtime.
“After several years of effort to streamline our approach to this vital market segment, we have seen significant movement, from pilot programs to single-site production networks, and now we have scaled production,” said Ian Chan, President. “We are focused on these industrial markets that require not only technical capabilities but, more importantly, domain-specific knowledge to operate safely in controlled work spaces to design, deliver and sustain these mission-critical networks,” said Mr Chan.
