AIS and SCG move forklifts in 5G use-case firstThis forklift in Saraburi is remote-controlled from Bangkok using 5G on the 2600MHz range. Leading mobile operator Advanced Info Service (AIS) and SCG jointly launched the country's first 5G use case for industry yesterday, offering trial remote-controlled forklifts via 5G tech on the 2600-megahertz spectrum range. The trial used two forklifts for SCG's routine operations in Saraburi, controlled from headquarters in Bangkok's Bang Sue district. AIS and SCG signed a deal for joint R&D for the application of 5G technology to other projects. Attapong Sathitmanothum, director of mechanisation, automation and robotics and Industry 4.0 at SCG, said 5G tech will help strengthen SCG's operations.
