STC initiate a IIoT collaboration with Kyung Hee Univeristy

To optimize the Industry 4.0 transition

This project targets an initiation of cooperation between the Mid Sweden University, Sweden and the Kyung Hee University in South Korea, to address the key aspects and challenges of optimizing the 5G networks' performance for the end-to-end integration of the IIoT services under Industry 4.0. This new collaboration will act as a preliminary phase for cooperation to initiate comprehensive research on intelligent 5G connectivity for IIoT. As a result, the partnership will build economic and social systems that can flexibly respond to the transition toward industry 4.0 for both Korea and Sweden.

STINT enables research exchanges

This project aims to set up and exchange research methods and case studies between Sweden and South Korea to develop innovative solutions to compensate for the present Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) inefficiencies. Therefore, the research fund from STINT will be dedicated mainly to organize mutual research visits, student exchange, and invited lectures and workshops. These events' primary purpose is to discuss research questions and gather real-life requirements to facilitate 5G technology integration with the IIoT applications.
