INDUSTRY 4.0 AND 5G
IN THE COVID PANDEMIC:
A SURVEY BY
ARC ADVISORY GROUP
AND
WIND RIVER
ARC White Paper
December 2020
During the year 2020 manufacturers have struggled
to maintain production as a result of disruptions to
their supply chains and operations caused by the
global pandemic. ARC and Wind River collaborated
on a survey of manufacturing leaders which was
conducted in mid-2020. We find that their Industry
4.0 initiatives are now focused on remote operations
and supply chain management, but efforts in other
areas continue, and so do their plans to adopt 5G
technologies in pursuit of Industry 4.0 objectives.
