Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPTResearch project "TARGET-X"
The Fraunhofer IPT has been investigating the use of 5G in industrial production since 2017. The TARGET-X project continued this research with a focus on “Beyond5G communication,” which delivers new features, improved performance, and other functional benefits for various industries.
The TARGET-X project envisions accelerating the digital transformation of key verticals such as energy, construction, automotive, and manufacturing using large-scale trials in multiple testbeds. By demonstrating, validating, and evaluating the potential of 5G/6G in real environments, technologies such as real-time communication, localization, self-description, digital twinning, and sensor-network data fusion can be tested and evaluated.
TARGET-X offers five different testbeds on two of the largest European test facilities for smart production and automotive driving: The 5G-Industry Campus Europe in Aachen, Germany and the Idiada Automotive Testbed close to Barcelona, Spain. Five testbeds will be implemented within these trial sites: Automotive, Manufacturing, Robotics, Construction, and Energy.
