description In the ever-evolving landscape of industrial connectivity, significant strides have been made in the integration of 5th generation (5G) cellular technology with Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems. At the same time, data-driven analytics has become an effective tool for leveraging information from interconnected industrial devices, enabling organizations to gain valuable insights and make informed decisions. However, among these advancements, the holistic perspective of end-to-end analysis related to their integration remains a critical aspect that has yet to be comprehensively addressed. To this end, we investigate 5G IIoT network architectures that support automated guided vehicles (AGVs) on a factory floor as an illustrative example. In particular, we leverage real sensor data collected by AGVs to estimate their remaining useful life (RUL) using a deep learning (DL)-based pipeline. We conduct an in-depth analysis to assess the compatibility of 5G New Radio infrastructures with the aforementioned case study, focusing on round trip time (RTT) requirements and emphasizing the inter-dependencies between communication network and data-driven application.
