GlobalLogic and Ericsson Deploy Private 5G Network at Hitachi Rail’s State-of the-Art Digital Factory

The brand-new facilities is the digital foundation of the Hagerstown plant, boosting effectiveness, security, and development abilities in rail production.

SANTA CLARA, September 10, 2025 – (JCN Newswire) – GlobalLogic Inc., a Hitachi Group Company and leader in digital engineering, has actually developed and released a cutting edge 5G personal network at Hitachi Rail’s a lot of digitally sophisticated center in Hagerstown, Maryland, USA. Executed in partnership with Ericsson, the 5G network acts as the digital structure for the 307,000 square foot factory, making it possible for innovative automation, employee security, and the scalability of ingenious commercial options.

Personal 5G might allow next-generation commercial abilities, such as:
– Physical AI, made it possible for by real-time information capture and analysis, permits smart systems– such as assessment robotics or robotic pet dogs– to spot flaws and even support on-site additive production for spares and tooling.
– Digital twins, powered by high-bandwidth, low-latency connection, allow engineers to imitate and enhance railcars before production, consequently lowering mistakes and speeding up time to market.
– Predictive upkeep, driven by safe and secure, real-time information over personal cordless, assists expect failures, lower downtime, and enhance devices efficiency.
– Automated quality examinations, utilizing innovative image analysis, make sure quicker, more precise flaw detection and enhanced item dependability.
– IoT-driven product transportation, made it possible for by smooth connection, enables automatic lorries and gadgets to move products securely and effectively throughout the factory flooring.

With ultra-low latency and high bandwidth at its core, the 5G personal network allows real-time execution of important procedures, driving substantial gains in effectiveness, accuracy, and employee security. The Hagerstown center, efficient in producing as much as 20 railcars every month, is tactically placed to satisfy the growing need for innovative rail production throughout North America– while setting a brand-new standard for digital-first, wise production.

“Our brand-new digital factory in Hagerstown is more than simply a train producing website– it is a plan for the future of rail production worldwide, utilizing the current AI, robotics, and digital systems to provide premium, wise, and trustworthy production. The job exhibits real One Hitachi, incorporating IT, OT, and item abilities with digital to speed up the development of distinct worth on a worldwide scale,” stated Joe Pozza, President of North America, Hitachi Rail. “Private 5G connection is a game-changer for sophisticated production environments. This protected, high-performance connection enables us to automate more procedures, safeguard our labor force, and speed up development.”

“To make Industry 4.0 genuine, makers require safe, high-performance connection that is versatile and scalable. This job in Hagerstown demonstrates how personal 5G can power whatever from predictive upkeep to collective robotics, while lowering energy use and downtime,” stated Alan Minney, Senior Director of Global Strategic Partnerships for Enterprise at Ericsson. “We are happy to partner with GlobalLogic and Hitachi Rail to show the effect of 5G on sustainable production in the United States.”

GlobalLogic leveraged its substantial cross-industry knowledge– covering telecoms and production– together with sophisticated digital abilities from semiconductor-level to cloud options, and our more than a decade-long collaboration with Ericsson to support this enthusiastic and requiring task completely. As a main Ericsson Private 5G community partner, GlobalLogic was accountable for technical and company consulting, complete implementation and combination of the personal 5G network into the plant’s procedures, in addition to total network lifecycle management and end-to-end service shipment.

“Private 5G networks are opening brand-new chances for markets, from sophisticated automation to energy optimization. Structure on our collaboration with Ericsson and working carefully with the Hitachi Rail group, we are providing ultra-reliable, low-latency, and safe and secure cordless connection,” stated Sameer Tikoo, GVP Communications & & Network Provider Business Unit at GlobalLogic. “It’s more than faster connection– it has to do with developing the durable digital foundation that contemporary commercial operations require to contend, grow, and attain sustainability objectives.”

The job shows that the synergy of Hitachi Group know-how, Ericsson’s innovative options, and GlobalLogic’s detailed technique can change the commercial market towards clever, safe, and sustainable factories of the future.
