Taking innovation from lab to factory floor: The 5G-ROBOT project successfully concludes its 4th and final Demo, showcasing automated mobile robots seamlessly integrated into a production environment for enhanced efficiency and inter-fleet control.
Unlike earlier laboratory demos, Demo-4 demonstrated the automated robots operating in a factory environment. The demo featured an automated production flow with mobile robots moving raw materials and finished products to and from production cells as needed. The setup included an automated storage cell as well as quality assurance cells, allowing a higher degree of automation in the production line.
The 5G-ROBOT project strives to build an easy and flexible structure in manufacturing, allowing the use of Inter-Fleet – integrated fleet control – and usage of multiple AMRs (autonomous mobile robots) from different vendors in a facility.
In celebration of the final demo and the conclusion of the project, a video displaying the fruits of the 5G-ROBOT project is published. Watch it here on AAU 5G Smart Production’s YouTube channel:
About 5G-ROBOT
The 5G-ROBOT project, also known under the long name 5G-ENABLED AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOTIC SYSTEMS, is the largest innovation project that has been launched under the Innovation Fund Denmark’s (IFD) Grand Solutions program.
The groundbreaking project united Denmark’s leading robot, automation and factory digitalization companies as technology vendors, research partners and industry-leading end-user companies.

The aim of the project was to revolutionize manufacturing – paving the way to smart production and smart factories and the application of a number of new technologies in production and manufacturing including 5G wireless communication, cloud and edge computing and digital twin.
Intelligent Systems played a leading role in the project, providing the glue that ties the robotic solutions of the partners together making the work as one – i.e. one connected integrated intelligent manufacturing system.
