Accelerating industrial change with the Connected Manufacturing and Production Forum

The GSMA Connected Manufacturing and Production Forum plays a pioneering role in driving the integration of 5G, AI, edge computing, and other digital solutions into industrial operations. Its purpose is to unite mobile network operators, enterprises, and the broader technology ecosystem to accelerate the adoption of mobile technologies across industries such as manufacturing, mining, refineries, supply chain, processing, assembly, and warehousing.

The Forum facilitates collaboration across the value chain, enabling industries to implement these technologies at scale. It explores every stage of industrial activity, from raw material extraction and refining to component production, logistics, assembly, and warehousing. By fostering partnerships and sharing expertise, the Forum empowers stakeholders to adopt advanced digital solutions, transforming operations into safer, more efficient, and sustainable ecosystems.

Goals of the Connected Manufacturing and Production Forum

By creating an environment that facilitates knowledge sharing and collaboration, the GSMA Connected  Manufacturing and Production Forum aims to:

Red silhouette of a person with their arm raised, set against a white background. The figure is stylized and simplified, forming an abstract shape that resembles the letter 'P'. This bold and modern design evokes the dynamic spirit of a Production Forum, conveying a strong sense of motion and energy.
Understand

business and operational needs across the industrial value chain

A minimalist red line drawing of an eye with three concentric circles represents the iris and pupil, evoking a technology-inspired design. Two lines extend from the corners, connecting to small circles like nodes, reminiscent of a Production Forum's interconnected network.
Identify

innovative partnerships to use technologies like 5G, AI, robotics, edge computing, augmented and virtual reality, and digital twins

A red line art icon features a pie chart with a magnifying glass, emphasizing analysis. Below, a line graph illustrates data trends. This imagery conveys research concepts, making it ideal for use in a Production Forum focused on data analytics and insights.
Address

and overcome barriers to digital transformation in the industrial sector

Red geometric network design reminiscent of a Production Forum, with circular nodes connected by lines, forming an abstract pattern. Lines vary in length, and node sizes differ, suggesting a digital network or molecular structure. The white background emphasizes the boldness of the red elements.
Share

successful implementations, use cases, achievements, and insights from global leaders

A red outline of a robotic arm graces a white background, evoking the sleek efficiency of a high-tech production forum. With its circular base, jointed upper arm angled upward, and claw-like gripper, the minimalistic design captivates with simple lines and schematic precision.
Build

relationships across the ecosystem to drive collaboration and unlock new opportunities
