Ampleon: riding the 5G wave with a smart factory
Reading time: 5 minutes
A leading global partner in RF power products, Ampleon works on developing new 5G technologies, setting up the intelligent factory and professionalizing its supply chain. The Factory Intelligence program is a roadmap to bring factory automation to the next level and to use data to increase performance and predictability levels. Ampleon’s Head of Global IT, Lody Hoekstra, talks about the journey, use cases and challenges of modernizing the company’s factory.
Headquartered in Nijmegen, Ampleon is a global player in the area of RF power. Its core business is the production of technology that amplifies communication signals for a wide range of applications, such as mobile broadband (3G, 4G, 5G), radio and television broadcasting. The company was established in 2015 after NXP was required to carve out its RF Power business.
This carve-out meant that the new organization needed to establish a new IT environment within a short period. “An enormous challenge, but it also offered us a chance to improve and prepare for the future,” explains Lody Hoekstra, Head of Global IT at Ampleon. Hence, the company decided to build a scalable digital platform.
