Nokia has deployed 6 new apps to its Nokia MX Industrial Edge (MXIE) platform, designed to do things like improve worker safety, site security, operational efficiency and secure OT environments.
The new apps are aimed at the manufacturing, mining, ports, and chemical industries. The release cites a projection from Analysys Mason which says enterprises using private LTE and 5G are projected to spend $6 billion on industrial applications by 2030.
The first couple are around the idea of worker safety and site security. ‘Ascom Ofelia’ helps enterprises shift from separate alarm systems to one unified alarm solution, which is supposed to improve incident management, and ‘Fogsphere’ is a multi-modal AI which provides real-time intelligence for PPE compliance, behavioural analysis, emergency management, access control, intrusion detection and vehicle monitoring.
Another two are based on giving workers real-time information to make their jobs easier and make machine tele-operation more efficient. ‘Innovaphone PBX & myApps’ is a scalable IP telephone system with for ‘advanced business communication’, and ‘Real-time eXtended Reality Multimedia (RXRM)’ is described as software with low latency 360 degree video and 3D OZO audio capture that’s supposed to help out with things like teleoperations and remote technical support.
