The overall focus of this 3GPP SA6 Study for Release 17 is investigating how 5G may significantly contribute to revolutionising how goods are produced, shipped and serviced throughout the entire lifecycle in the context of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” or Industry 4.0. The main goals of this study item (SID) are: Gap filing and evolutions: The overarching goal of SP-181139 is to investigate what application layer support functions are required to efficiently use and deploy Factories of the Future in 5G networks. – Investigating and analysing general applicability of Factories of the Future related to cyber-physical control applications defined in 3GPP TS 22.261. – Developing key issues, corresponding architecture requirements to make the service enabler for “Factories of the Future” applications over 3GPP networks. – Providing customised solutions for Factory applications to cross-layer optimise and redesign the actual applications which are now based on the classical wired cable connection world. – This work builds on 3GPP Rel-16 work on cyber-physcial control applications in vertical domains (cyberCAV) as defined in TS 22.104 and TS 22.261. Requirements and studies on LAN support in 5G (5GLAN) are defined in TS 22.261. – The rapporteur is ZTE Corporation. Supporting Individual Members (SIMs) include global supply side companies and Robert Bosch GmBH on the end-user side.
