What and for whom?
“In this fourth revolution, we are facing a range of new technologies that combine the physical, digital, and biological worlds. These new technologies will impact all disciplines, economies, and industries, and even challenge our ideas about what it means to work, and the environment we live in.”
Professor Klaus Schwab
“The Forth Industrial Revolution”
The 5G standards were designed for use in Industry 4.0 applications and includes a number of enhancements for Industrial IoT both in terms of the number of devices supported, power requirements and the support for delay sensitive applications.
However, upgrading the mobile network and becoming more customer centric is not enough to meet the demands of next generation industrial applications. In order to meet the particular requirements of Industry 4.0, operators need full visibility and proof how their networks perform in real-time and with complete coverage.
Industry 4.0 is all about thinking differently,
- to look at the entire picture rather than digitizing the answer,
- to rephrase the question rather than digitizing the answer.
In this webinar we are joined by Michael Johnston, expert and evangelist in Industry 4.0 and Industrial IoT (IIoT) to discuss what operators need to do to provide high-quality and competitive IIoT service offerings over their 5G infrastructure that meets the demands of IIOT in terms of reliability, latency and flexibility

Claus Still CTO at Creanord
Michael Johnston Consultant at Think Robotics
A dynamic, passionate, dedicated, and seasoned Information Technology professional with advanced experience providing executive-level leadership to global teams. Additional expertise in Engineering; qualified in Accounting, Finance, and Law. Works well with multicultural groups in hectic, fast-paced environments. Specializes in low opex, delivery-based telecommunications networks, and binding network functionality to meet ongoing business requirements.
After 20 years background in building and operating telecommunication networks, having worked in executive positions for large operators such as Ooredoo in the Middle East, Hutchison and Millicom in SE Asia, I have seen the movement toward customer centric / Digital type solutions, technology being used to drive a user outcomes, from subscriber based models.
In coming back to New Zealand, I joined up with Think Robotics to start building practical solutions and focusing on Industry 4.0 type products, looking to build Telecommunication networks supporting specific use cases, which resulted in our first Proof of Concept in South Auckland for a smart Village (where an autonomous vehicle was run over a Private LTe Network) …. And since completely this, with the establishment of Overlay, to build Edge solutions (including EDGE AI) meant I am deliver exactly what I am evangelising.
