Military smart warehouse

Achieve greater efficiency in
Military warehouses with 5G
A 5G smart warehouse incorporated 5G
capabilities for transshipments between
shore facilities and Naval units. Adding 5Genabled devices and applications in awarehouse will increase the efficiency andfidelity of Military logistic operations including
identification, recording, organization,storage, retrieval, and the transportation ofmateriel and supplies.

The challenge: Overcoming
the limitations of legacy
systems
Timeliness, accuracy, security and safety are
all part of efficient warehouse operations andrequired to accomplish mission operationsin the constantly evolving threat landscape.
Legacy networks, often Wi-Fi based, are notadequate for the demands of advanced
Military logistics. Digital transformation ofwarehouse operations will require automation
and rapid communication of massive
amounts of data. Moreover, a transformation

will leverage advanced technologies such as
Artificial intelligence (AI), Augmented
reality/Virtual reality (AR/VR) and Edge/
Cloud, thrusting Military logistics forward.

The solution: Driving
innovation with private 5G
networks
A private 5G Radio Access Network is theanswer. Ericsson is ready to deploy its
proven* private 5G networks at US Military
warehouses as part of the US Military digitalmodernization strategy.

The solution delivers:

With a private 5G network, the Military will
be able to overcome existing operational
challenges and enhance warehouseefficiencies. The increased throughput ofdata, Internet of Things (IoT) support, andlow latency will enable optimization ofwarehouse operations.

a high-performance,highly secure, and scalable
network

The network facilitates several demonstrable
use cases that will enhance warehouseefficiencies. The program can be scaled
across Military warehouses and logistics
centers CONUS and OCONUS.

Make the leap from “warehouse”
to “smart warehouse”
Benefits of the smart warehouse solution
With the private 5G network, the Military Services launches a new era of smart warehouses.
Driven by robotics, automation, high-definition video, AR/VR, AI and ML, the smart warehousefeatures:
Optimization of warehouse operations—thanks to increased throughput of data,IoT support and low latency.
Ability to accommodate more and more advanced devices.
Improved metrics for transshipments between shore facilities and Naval units.
Increased efficiency and fidelity of Military logistic operations—including
identification, recording, organization, storage, retrieval, and the transportation ofmateriel and supplies.
Greater security—High-definition video surveillance delivers high-definition
streaming and direct access to any camera placed on the private network to support
video surveillance.
Better put/pick metrics—5G-enabled AR technology improves accuracy andreduces processing times.
More accurate and timely recordkeeping—5G-enabled AI and ML, extended fromthe cloud to the network edge, facilitates object recognition. The system can update
the quantity of parts from a conveyor belt in real time.

The Ericsson solution:• A private 5G network delivering
3.9 Gbps throughput with less than
10 milliseconds of latency• Ericsson basebands used inconjunction with mmwave andmid-band radios based on design todeliver coverage and performance,indoor and outdoor• Ericsson 6674 router for networkcommunication• Ericsson 5G dual mode core
• Ericsson Security Manager• Ericsson device activation

Let's build the connected defenseof the future together.
5G and future “Next G” technologies are critical to the US-networked way of defense. Ericsson has the 5G
technology—proven through deployments—to ensure that
the US Military has the communications it requires today and for years to come.
