ERICSSON AND UNIKIE OPTIMIZE FACTORY PARKING WITH A 5G PRIVATE NETWORK AND
AUTOMATION

With more than 500 global auto factories and 90 million cars produced in 2019
alone, efficiently managing vehicle logistics onsite is a crucial need. With 5G
and automated parking, automakers can save time and reduce costs.

Industry 4.0 Connected vehicles Private networks   #5G #Automation

Ericsson and industry 4.0 partner, Unikie, are collaborating to trial automated
factory parking with Ericsson’s 5G standalone (SA) private network.

Finnish company Unikie develops software for real-time autonomous operation and
process management in automotive and industrial solutions, including automated
factory parking and valet parking.

At the test facility in Turku, Finland, vehicles are remotely controlled through
a secure and reliable Ericsson 5G private network, utilizing edge computing and
Unikie’s Automated Factory Parking (AFP) solution.

As a result, vehicle logistic management at the factory can be fully automated
due to reliable connectivity, low latency to meet safety requirements, and the
high-security standards of the 5G private network.

As cars roll off the production line, drivers move cars to a parking area before
being shipped, which takes approximately 30 minutes. With Unikie’s AFP solution
of sensors and software, automakers can control and monitor the car factory
route and automate parking.

Automakers benefit from identifying the exact location of parked vehicles which
reduces search time and labor costs. With precision parking, the parking space
is optimized by up to 20 percent. An additional benefit is increased safety for
onsite staff and minimum vehicle parking accidents. Other possible use cases for
the technology include airport parking, shopping malls and logistic hubs.

Vesa Kiviranta, Chief Business Officer, Automotive, Unikie says: “Together with
Ericsson, we can support the reliability and performance requirements critical
for large automotive manufacturers and other industries with vast logistics
areas. Controlled autonomous vehicles onsite are efficient and safe not only for
the entire automotive production ecosystem but for all logistic ecosystems.”

Jan Diekmann, Technical Account Manager, Ericsson says: “5G private networks
enable automotive manufacturers to increase productivity, reduce costs, and
improve worker safety. Combined with Unikie’s automated factory parking
solution, vehicle logistics are transformed. It is exciting to be a part of this
project.”
