Verizon Business is teaming with Deloitte to create 5G and mobile edge computing solutions for manufacturing and retail, ultimately expanding to other sectors. The collaboration presumably will build on Deloitte’s Smart Factory Fabric, a cloud-enabled smart manufacturing solution developed with Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Deloitte will act as a system integrator while Verizon’s supplies the mobile and private enterprise wireless networks, 5G Edge MEC platform, internet of things, Software Defined-Wide Area Network (SD-WAN), and VNS Application Edge capabilities.
The companies are co-developing a smart factory solution at Verizon’s Customer Technology Center in Richardson, TX that will use computer vision and sensor-based detection coupled with MEC to identify and predict quality defects on the assembly line and automatically alert plant engineering and management in near real-time.
Verizon says the companies will also introduce an edge compute environment for next generation applications.
“By bringing together Verizon’s 5G and MEC prowess with Deloitte’s deep industry expertise and track record in system integration with large enterprises on smart factories, we plan to deliver cutting-edge solutions that will close the gap between digital business operations and legacy manufacturing environments and unlock the value of the end-to-end digital enterprise,” said Tami Erwin, CEO of Verizon Business.
