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.
