Heavy industry, supply chain and energy utilities

Enable your Industry 4.0 digital transformation with wireless connectivity solutions tailored to your exact requirements.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0, is all about using digital technologies, automation and analytics to transform operating processes, maximise efficiency and reduce costs.

But to incorporate Industry 4.0 technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous robots and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, you need fast, low-latency connectivity, which can be challenging to achieve in dense industrial settings.

Drawing on deep expertise and global experience, BAI delivers the connectivity you need to realise the benefits of Industry 4.0. We can design, deploy and operate wireless networks tailored to the unique needs of your environment — no matter how complex.

Applications and use cases

BAI can lay the network foundation that will help your seaport meet these responsibilities and overcome challenges

Australia’s seaports are critical to the country’s economy and supply chains, processing and transporting continuous streams of goods and raw materials. Along with the challenge of keeping track of all this cargo, seaports must monitor vessel movements and optimise port operations to reduce congestion, and also secure their perimeters to prevent theft.

BAI can lay the network foundation that will help your seaport meet these responsibilities and overcome challenges with new capabilities like real-time monitoring, making it easier to locate and assess the condition of vehicles and containers. For port equipment like cranes, AI and analytics can inform predictive maintenance to ensure optimal performance and minimise downtime. Advanced security systems can prevent theft or vandalism, while autonomous and remote-controlled vehicles accelerate operations and improve safety. Smart platforms can support more efficient berthing, loading and unloading for a smoother flow of vessels, and also integrate with customs and regulatory authorities to streamline clearance and compliance processes.

Many seaports face roadblocks to covering their vast spaces with the fast, reliable connectivity these innovations require. BAI can design, deploy and operate wireless networks that provide the necessary coverage and capacity for seamless handoffs — and maximum operational efficiency — throughout your seaport.

BAI can help you bring these capabilities into your business

Australia’s energy demands are increasing and are being met through development of new power generation plants and innovations that improve efficiency of existing facilities. A growing proportion of this energy will come from renewable sources, with onshore / offshore wind farms and other technologies like solar, hydropower and battery storage playing a key role in Australia’s energy transition.

Automation and digital technologies, enabled by ubiquitous network connectivity, can help improve efficiency and reliability of Australia’s future energy supply. Data connectivity provides easy access to enterprise applications and specialist support to remote offices and staff, improving productivity. Safety wearables with location positioning reduce risk of major incidents and injuries. Unmanned drones can survey wind turbine towers or solar panel arrays, driving efficiency. Industrial sensors and distributed control systems can be used for predictive maintenance and early fault detection to reduce operational costs and improve power availability. Environmental sensors can help improve production forecasts.

However achieving reliable and high-speed connectivity throughout power plant facilities can often be a challenge. BAI’s distributed antenna systems and private 4G / 5G solutions can deliver the required connectivity to enable smarter and safer processes, right from project construction phase through to ongoing operations. We design, deploy and operate network infrastructure to connect people, equipment, vessels and vehicles across large areas in complex outdoor and indoor environments, even in remote and offshore locations.

BAI can help you bring these capabilities into your business

Manufacturers in Australia are under pressure to stay viable in highly competitive global industries. Digital technologies promise to give them an edge by streamlining and enhancing many aspects of their operations, from production and inspections to on-site security and worker safety. Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation can accelerate assembly lines and testing processes while improving quality control. High-fidelity video streaming, paired with computer vision technology and advanced analytics, can facilitate remote auditing and compliance monitoring.

But integrating these technologies into manufacturing processes isn’t easy. It often requires a much broader digital transformation, including improvements to communications infrastructure to provide the fast, consistent connectivity needed to support leading-edge smart solutions.

BAI can help you bring these capabilities into your business by designing, deploying and operating the right wireless connectivity infrastructure for your industrial environment. Our portfolio includes private 5G networks that ensure the highest levels of reliability and security along with the capacity and coverage required to support smart solutions — even in rural and remote facilities.

Make the most of your mine's potential with BAI

From large open-pit mines to long stretches of heavy haul transport networks, Australia’s mining sector operates and thrives in some of the harshest and most remote environments. In these challenging conditions, digital innovation is crucial in enhancing operational efficiency, safety, and unlocking new possibilities for the future of mining.

Automation, remote monitoring, and real-time data processing can make mining operations safe and more efficient. AI and machine learning can help avoid breakdowns by predicting equipment maintenance requirements. Automation can handle hazardous and repetitive tasks, allowing employees to concentrate on more crucial responsibilities. Digital transformation and integration of these new technologies into mining operations needs reliable network connectivity. This includes modern wireless communication infrastructure that can provide dependable, fast connectivity throughout the mine site.

BAI can help integrate these capabilities into your mining operations by developing, implementing, and managing cutting-edge wireless communication solutions. Our private 4G / 5G networks provide the necessary dependability, security, and coverage needed for advanced technologies needed in today's mining environments.

BAI has the experience and solutions to help overcome challenges

With robust wireless communications infrastructure from BAI, you can equip your warehouses to support digital technologies that enable faster, smarter and leaner operations. Real-time tracking of inventory levels can help ensure you never have too much or too little stock. Advanced robotics, automated conveyor systems and IoT devices can boost efficiency, decrease labour expenses and reduce errors during picking and packing. Smart warehousing platforms can monitor temperature and humidity levels to protect stored goods while reducing energy costs. Advanced surveillance systems can prevent theft and unauthorised access to the premises.

But for many warehouses, achieving the coverage and connection quality these applications demand is challenging due to their size and complex layouts. The presence of dense inventory can also impede wireless signals.

BAI has the experience and solutions to help overcome those challenges. Our specialists can design, deploy and operate wireless connectivity solutions tailored to your specific environment and requirements, bringing fast, reliable coverage throughout your warehouse. Whether it’s a distributed antenna system (DAS) or your own private 5G network, we can give you the strong network foundation you need to transform your warehouse operations and reach new levels of efficiency.
