Thailand is embracing the future of intelligent manufacturing with the launch of Southeast Asia’s first private 5G fully-connected smart factory. This groundbreaking project is the result of a collaborative effort between Midea, AIS, China Unicom, and Huawei.

The factory, located at Midea’s Industrial Park in Chonburi, leverages comprehensive 5G network coverage and a 5G+ industrial internet platform to connect every phase of production through 5G terminals. A dedicated 5G private network has been deployed to support the stringent operational requirements and enable intelligent manufacturing applications across interconnected production lines.

This pioneering implementation sets a new benchmark for smart manufacturing in the region, unlocking enhanced efficiency, safety, and automation across complex production processes. Key 5G-enabled solutions powering this transformation include:

  • Real-Time Monitoring and Analytics
  • 5G Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
  • AI-Powered Quality Inspection
  • Remote Robotic Arm Control
  • 5G Operating Rooms

Industry leaders have hailed this collaboration as a milestone in Thailand’s digital transformation journey and a blueprint for realizing the vision of Industry 4.0.

“Thailand’s 5G smart factory sets the blueprint for the future of manufacturing, where everything is connected, and green, high-quality plants are built,” said Vincent Cai, General Manager of Midea Thailand Air Conditioning Factory.

Operators have played a pivotal role, leveraging their expertise and local ecosystems to drive digital transformation through 5G deployment, achieving new levels of efficiency, connectivity, and data security.

As Thailand positions itself as an ASEAN frontrunner in 5G readiness, this groundbreaking project exemplifies the power of collaboration and innovation in shaping the future of intelligent manufacturing through cutting-edge technologies.
