Report: 5G connections
in manufacturing to
reach $10.8B by 2030
An analysis report from ABI
Research predicts that the
market for 5G cellular connections in manufacturing
will reach $10.8 billion by
2030, at a compound annual
growth rate of 187%. "But, to
capture the value at stake,
ecosystem
stakeholders
will first need
to eva luate
how to measure the impact of 5G and
edge deployments," says Don
Alusha, Senior Analyst at ABI
Research.
With greater reliability and
data speeds that will surpass those of 4G networks, a
combination of 5G and local
edge compute will pave the
way for new business value.
Commercial benefits will
accrue along three broad aspects: agility and process optimization; better and more
efficient quality assurance
and productivity improvement. "The implications for
solution providers such as
Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia and
ZTE are that they must enhance their "value add" by
complementing their deep
technical expertise with business expertise including vertical industry knowledge, new
functional expertise (sales,
marketing, and accounting)
and solution design and consulting expertise tailored at
niche use cases," Alusha said.
These findings are from
ABI Research's 5G and Edge
Networks in Manufacturing
application analysis report.
This report is part of the
company's 5G Core & Edge
Networks research service,
which includes research,
data, and ABI Insights.

SEMICON Southeast
Asia 2020 postponed
Coronavirus expected to cause fiveweek product shipment delays, says
electronics manufacturing industry
According to a survey conducted by the global electronics
manufacturing association IPC, electronics manufacturers
are looking at a five-week product shipment delay from suppliers, at the minimum, as a result of the burgeoning coronavirus
epidemic. IPC says that already there are shipping delays for
manufacturers due to the spread of the coronavirus outbreak
in China and other countries.
Among manufacturers, about 65 percent report that their
suppliers are predicting roughly a three-week delay, but the
manufacturers fear that greater delays might be lurking in the
future, with executives forecasting shipment delays of at least
five weeks.
"The delays will likely have ripple effects for the rest of the
year," John Mitchell, IPC's president and CEO said in a press
release. "The longer China is affected by the epidemic, and the
more it spreads to other parts of the world, the supply chain will
experience more and varied strains and disruptions."
More than 80 percent of electronics manufacturers and suppliers are expressing concern over the potential impact of the
coronavirus outbreak on their business operations. Potential
impacts in the manufacturing chain could involve factory downtime, higher costs, transportation issues, delayed sales, necessity of alternative sourcing, and delayed prototyping, according
to the IPC. "In most cases, it's not easy for manufacturers to
switch suppliers, if that's what turns out to be necessary," added
Mitchell. "Securing alternate sources requires an investment
of significant time and money that must be weighed against
the value gained."
The survey was conducted Feb. 11-16, 2020.
On March 4, SEM I announced that it is postponing SEMICON Southeast
Asia 2020 from 12-14 May to
Aug. 11-13, due to concerns
related to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. The venue
for the event will remain the
Malaysia International Trade
and Exhibition Centre.
"After close consultation
with our stakeholders, which
include partners, exhibitors,
industry peers and the general
community, we have made the
necessary decision to postpone SEMICON Southeast
Asia 2020," said Bee Bee Ng,
president of SEMI Southeast
Asia. "We want to ensure that
SEMICON Southeast Asia
2020 achieves its primary objective of forming connections
and collaborations for exhibitors and visitors, both regionally and globally. It remains
our mission and commitment
to make the show highly successful and impactful."
Huawei makes big bet

According to a report by
Bloomberg, Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei is
ramping up its presence in
Europe, in defiance of Trump
administration pressure, by
