In recent years, a number of incidents at sensitive industrial sites have shown just how vital continuity of communications is to the ability to control an emergency situation. An interrupted video signal, an alert delayed by a few minutes or a saturated voice channel can be enough to transform a localized incident into a major crisis.  

Digital transformation has profoundly changed the way industrial activities are carried out, at all levels. Regardless of their size, organizations have grasped the importance of modernizing their operational processes in order to continue to grow and perform. Digitization brings many benefits. In particular, it aims to improve the daily lives of employees, increase operational efficiency, automate low-value-added tasks, and make processes more reliable and secure. As such, it plays an essential role inimproving industrial performance. In this article, we give you six tips on how to make the most of technological advances, feed them correctly and digitalize your operational processes.

An emblematic monument, the Eiffel Tower is also a critical strategic technical site. Behind its tourist appeal, it houses audiovisual infrastructures for DTT and radio broadcasting. TDF 's operating teams are on site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to ensure that these infrastructures remain in operational condition. To optimize operations, facilitate critical communications and enhance technician safety, TDF has set up a private mobile network. This infrastructure provides teams with reliable, high-performance connectivity, with the implementation of an MCPTT - Mission Critical Push-to-talk - communications solution (the equivalent of a modern talky walky). Thanks to this system, TDF is able to improve the coordination and protection of isolated workers.

Managing a SEVESO site imposes rigorous protocols and extreme demands in terms of safety and responsiveness. The slightest failure can have major human, environmental and economic consequences. In these sensitive environmentsenvironments, connectivity is a key element in protecting people and infrastructure, as well as ensuring regulatory compliance.

Reliable and adapted to critical needsPrivate mobile networks improve operations management and enhance site security.

Industrial and urban areas are exposed to numerous risks: intrusions, theftbut also technical incidents that can affect the safety of people and infrastructures. To meet these challenges video protection plays a central role. For a long time based on wired systems or WiFi networks, it is now evolving towards high-performance solutionscapable of offering real-time surveillance, improved image analysis and enhanced transmission security. Private mobile networks (PMN) in 4G and 5G are now emerging as an alternative to conventional infrastructures. They guarantee reliable and continuous connectivityadapted to the needs of local authorities and industrial sites.

Communication is central to the success of any business, whether it's the exchange of information between employees, between machines, or even between human/machine interactions. This is all the more important in the age ofindustry 4.0where interconnected environments are at the service of productivity.! The private mobile networks (PMN) are ideal solutions for organizations looking to obtain high-performance, reliable connectivity over a given and/or extended geographical area. They emancipate themselves from the constraints of public networks, enhance security and ensure continuity of service in complex environments, while being capable of meeting very demanding requirements. However, deploying an RMP requires a methodical approach. TDF, drawing on its long-standing expertise in telecoms infrastructures, supports its customers throughout the process, from network design to operation. This support is divided into 5 stages, detailed in this article.

Mining is one of the riskiest working environments. Collapses, projections, collisions or machine failure... worker safety is a priority. Today, technology is transforming processes, and it is now possible to geolocate teams in real time, detect anomalies ahead of time, and even automate dangerous operations. All this to reduce risks, but also improve performance! And in this context, connectivity plays a major role. How exactly does it work? What are the use cases and benefits for the sector? Let's find out!

Connected objects represent a major advance in the healthcare sector: they improve medical practices, enabling more fluid communication, optimized resource management and better patient monitoring in particular. For healthcare establishments, digital transformation means integrating these new devices and mastering new technologies to improve their methods. So, what are the new approaches to be implemented in healthcare? How can connected objects help improve care and the daily lives of staff? And what connectivity methods are needed to power these new uses? Here's how.

In modern industry, automation is becoming increasingly important, with Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs ) moving autonomously around factories and warehouses to transport goods or materials. These vehicles are an asset for improving productivity, but they require reliable, continuous connectivity to operate without interruption. Yet many industries still experience problems with white zones- areas where network connectivity is absent or inadequate. These interruptions can bring AGVs to a standstill, disrupting the production chain. So how do we remedy these problems and guarantee optimal operation? The use of private mobile networks (PMN) could well be the solution. Here's how.

AGVs(Automated Guided Vehicles) and AMRs(Autonomous Mobile Robots) are autonomous robots that automate the movement of goods through warehouses and factories. In a context where operational performance must be optimized while controlling costs, automation solutions such as AGVs and AMRs are becoming essential. Let's explore how these autonomous robots, combined with private 5G, can meet the expectations of demanding industrial sectors.

IoT, AI, QR code reading, augmented reality, voice picking, ... Industry has integrated many technologies, and warehouses too are entitled to their digital revolution!
