BASF Schwarzheide is building a 5G campus network with the aid of Vodafone in Lusatia, near the border of Germany and Poland. The network is testing a variety of use cases, including wireless sensors and high-definition cameras.

“With BASF and Vodafone as partners, we are creating the digital infrastructures to be able to use modern tools such as artificial intelligence in the future,” said Prof. Dr. Jörg Steinbach, Minister for Economic Affairs, Labour and Energy of the State of Brandenburg.

The BASF factory produces a number of products, including foam, polyurethane, plastics, and crop protection agents. BASF plans for the private 5G networks to help the Lusatian site become a digital pioneer in the chemical process industry.

Alexander Saul, managing director of corporate customers at Vodafone German, said, “As a digitalization partner for German industry, we support BASF in Schwarzheide in operating the local 5G network. In Schwarzheide, sensors, machines, robots, and drones will soon be able to communicate with each other in real-time. This makes BASF’s Lusatian production plant a pioneer in Europe’s process industry and can develop and implement new application scenarios.”
