24/7 data availability

Access important system data from the warehouse or production, for example, at any time, using new technologies such as in-house mobile services with 5G.

Real-time value chain monitoring

With track & trace based on IoT networking, for instance, you create a smart supply chain and manage your quality requirements end to end.

The factory of tomorrow

Swisscom is working with medical technology manufacturer Ypsomed to trial the use of 5G in an industrial environment. In the pilot project, the production processes for injection pens were digitised throughout the entire value chain.
Remote diagnostics and maintenance

With remote diagnostics and maintenance via the IoT platform, Meier Tobler is improving the efficiency of heat pump servicing and sparing its customers the task of managing their own heating systems.
