Nothing Runs (Or Communicates) Like A Deere

If you thought today's John Deere equipment was "just a bunch of dumb ol' tractors,” you'd be sorely mistaken. In fact, the 190-year-old company is a lot smarter than you'd think. 

Its ultra-modern manufacturing facilities aren't taking a backseat to anyone. The company has designed and deployed a private 5G network that enables automated guided vehicles to move parts around its assembly area, inspect welds for quality control as well as monitor worker safety, and improve its assembly-line processes overall. 

It now can do in hours what previously would have taken days. 

In this piece I’ll talk about how the company is leveraging cellular connectivity to enable automation and autonomy in its iconic green-and-yellow vehicles, as well as using 5G to unlock efficiencies within the factories that produce them.
