5G-TIMBER Kickoff-Meeting

The 16 partners forming the consortium of 5G-TIMBER met in Tallinn, Estonia from 8 to 9 June 2022 for the official kick-off of the project. During the 2-days of meetings, the partners had the opportunity to get to know each other and to coordinate the work for the following weeks and months.

The project aims to support the rapid uptake of 5G technologies, considering real industrial practices and constraints in the EU timber industry over the wood value chain. An ambitious, multidisciplinary research and innovation team will conduct advanced, large-scale field trials on 5G deployments in energy-intensive scenarios such as sawmill machinery manufacturing, construction/renovation (woodhouse factory), wood waste valorisation through biochemical processes. The project will demonstrate key innovations in timber by proposing advanced digital wood models, open standards for production data, data analytics at the edge, precise indoor localization, “Digital Twin” and augmented reality applications and industrial IoT.
