Use Cases


Use cases at the fieldlabs

The 6G Fieldlabs involved in FNS have extensive experience in supporting use cases. Below is a brief overview of several use cases the fieldlabs have previously worked on.

PATS

In this project, 5G is used to transmit data at high speed and with high reliability. In the AgriFood greenhouse at RoboHouse, we are testing how 5G can help improve the performance and energy efficiency of our systems. Thanks to technologies such as beamforming and massive MIMO, we can measure more accurately and control more intelligently. After these tests, PATS will scale the innovative solution up to a fully operational greenhouse at Tomatoworld – an important step towards smart and sustainable agriculture.

Smart Potato

The "Smart Potato" project uses potatoes with built-in sensors to measure soil conditions and transmit the data via 5G. This helps farmers make better decisions for more sustainable agriculture. In addition, the project includes market research and advises actively involving farmers to encourage widespread adoption.

Wireless Factory

Imagine all communication in a factory—both between and within machines—being replaced by wireless 6G connections with ultra-low latency, extremely high bandwidth and high reliability, while all software intelligence from local controllers, sensors and actuators is centralized in one powerful brain. This opens up a world of possibilities for hyper-flexible industrial automation, with AI-driven insights and adaptability at an unprecedented level. Such a wireless 6G factory is exactly one of the applications FNS is focusing on.

Remote operation

The trials demonstrated how TNO’s ‘beyond 5G’ network can provide on-demand bandwidth guarantees through a teleoperation use case. Using user-friendly network APIs, such as CAMARA Quality-on-Demand (QoD), the team showed how vertical applications can dynamically request Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantees from the mobile network.

Future

In the coming years, FNS will be looking for use cases that contribute to the future of the Netherlands. In phase 2, a voucher scheme will also be introduced to encourage SMEs to get involved. Keep an eye on the homepage for updates!
