17 March 2022

Tokyo, Japan - Nokia today announced that it, along with local systems integrator NS Solutions Corporation (NSSOL), has been selected by OMRON Corporation to trial a private wireless network at its Automation Center Kusatsu in Shiga Prefecture. The deployment will allow OMRONs customers to use 5G to link their equipment with OMRONs control equipment to conduct tests in a simulated production line. This will enable OMRONs customers to use digital technologies to develop new capabilities and resolve manufacturing issues before they start impacting their productivity and efficiency.

Nokia will provide Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC), an industrial-grade digital automation service platform that ensures a reliable, secure and high-performance private wireless network, which can be easily and quickly scaled as and when required.

As part of the trial, NSSOL will support the installation, construction and operation of the 5G-based system at OMRONs Automation Center Kusatsu. The deployment uses a 4.8GHz spectrum frequency band at the worlds first OMRON automation center. Omron recently announced the reopening of its Automation Center, Kusatsu.

NSSOL is the first company to provide 5G services in Japan. NSSOL leverages Nokias proven expertise and knowledge in building systems for enterprises from different industry verticals. The two companies will also provide digital experience solutions and build networks for telecommunication carriers. NSSOLs 5G solution uses Nokias 5G core and wireless base stations while NSSOL manages the operational and maintenance of the system.

Takashi Oshiro, Executive Director and Senior Vice President at NS Solutions, Inc., said: Industry 4.0 opens up new and exciting opportunities for manufacturers. Partnering with Nokia allows us to bring world-class technology to Japans enterprises to enable them to gain new capabilities and a competitive edge. By using our expertise and Nokias 5G solutions, OMRON will be able to leverage the latest technologies to provide a superior experience to their customers.

Donny Janssens, Head of Customer Team Enterprise Japan, at Nokia, said: We are excited to work with NSSOL to enable OMRON to use the latest digital solutions to provide exceptional customer experience to their customers. With Nokias 5G solution and NSSOLs installation and maintenance services, OMRONs Automation Center will enable its customers to test new solutions and enhance manufacturing efficiency by resolving manufacturing-related issues before they lead to downtime.
