Hitachi Rail upgraded its manufacturing from “smart” to “brilliant.” In Hagerstown, Maryland, the team combined the power of a private 5G network with the versatility and precision of advanced robotics to improve the flow of operations on the factory floor, enable meticulous inspections, and keep workers safe. 

So, how did they do it? We met with Hitachi America Sr. Manager of IoT and Analytics Joydeep Acharya, Slalom Consulting Managing Director John Tomik, and Ericsson Senior Director of Global Strategic Partnerships Alan Minney to find out.
