Cargill Modernizes Manufacturing Operations with NTT DATA’s Private 5G Network

From: Business Wire

NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business and technology services, today announced that Cargill, a global food, agricultural and industrial leader, is transforming operations across its manufacturing and processing facilities through the successful deployment of NTT DATA’s Private 5G network across 50 sites globally. The initiative is enabling a connected workplace strategy and supports the deployment of robotics, with additional sites planned for completion in 2026.

Operating across large-scale agricultural processing plants, food manufacturing facilities and industrial sites, Cargill requires secure, scalable connectivity that can be rapidly deployed where traditional network infrastructure is impractical. NTT DATA’s Private 5G network, distinct from traditional WiFi or wired networks, provides consistent, high-performance connectivity that enables a connected workforce and the growing use of automation, robotics and digital operations in industrial settings.

As Cargill rolls out SAP ERP across its facilities, NTT DATA’s Private 5G network supports a connected workforce by delivering reliable, low latency access to enterprise applications and operational data on smartphones and ruggedized tablets. This connectivity improves real-time visibility into production processes, enhances collaboration between frontline and operations teams and supports faster, data-driven decision-making.

While the majority of deployments are in the United States, Cargill is also live with NTT DATA’s Private 5G deployments in Europe, with additional regions under consideration.

Private 5G is also enabling advanced robotics and physical AI deployments in operational environments. For example, Cargill has deployed Spot the Dog at its Amsterdam facility to enhance safety and operational efficiency. The AI-powered robot supports use cases such as automating visual inspections, monitoring for hazards such as equipment overheating and improving worker safety in hazardous or hard to reach areas.

“Our work with NTT DATA is a true partnership, allowing us to confidently advance our global digital transformation strategy,” said Robert Greiner, Director Platform Engineering for Customer, Commercial & Business Operations Digital Technology at Cargill. “Private 5G gives us a secure, scalable foundation to support connected workers, robotics and edge AI use cases across our operations.”

“As manufacturing organizations expand the use of physical AI and intelligent automation, reliable and secure connectivity becomes foundational to digital transformation,” said Shahid Ahmed, Global Head of Edge Services, NTT DATA, Inc. “Cargill is demonstrating how Private 5G can bring technology and operations together in environments where traditional networks fall short, while improving safety, agility and performance.”

Since introducing the world’s first enterprise Private 5G platform in 2021, NTT DATA has been at the forefront of Industry 4.0 innovation, powering transformation for some of the world’s most recognized brands.

全球人工智能、数字商业与技术服务领军企业 NTT DATA 今日宣布，全球食品、农业及工业巨头嘉吉（Cargill）已在全球 50 处生产加工基地成功部署 NTT DATA专用 5G 专网，全面革新工厂制造与加工运营模式。该项目落地智能互联厂区战略，支撑机器人规模化应用，剩余站点计划于 2026 年全部完工。

NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business and technology services, today announced that Cargill, a global food, agricultural and industrial leader, is transforming operations across its manufacturing and processing facilities through the successful deployment of NTT DATA’s Private 5G network across 50 sites globally. The initiative is enabling a connected workplace strategy and supports the deployment of robotics, with additional sites planned for completion in 2026.

嘉吉运营覆盖大型农产品加工厂、食品制造车间及工业园区，亟需安全、可快速扩容的专属网络，适配传统基建难以铺设的复杂厂区环境。NTT DATA 专用 5G 专网区别于传统无线 Wi-Fi 与有线网络，提供稳定高性能连接，助力厂区人员互联协同，支撑工业自动化、智能机器人及数字化作业规模化落地。

Operating across large-scale agricultural processing plants, food manufacturing facilities and industrial sites, Cargill requires secure, scalable connectivity that can be rapidly deployed where traditional network infrastructure is impractical. NTT DATA’s Private 5G network, distinct from traditional WiFi or wired networks, provides consistent, high-performance connectivity that enables a connected workforce and the growing use of automation, robotics and digital operations in industrial settings.

嘉吉正全域推行 SAP 企业资源管理系统（ERP），NTT DATA 专用 5G 专网可保障员工通过智能手机、工业三防平板，低时延稳定访问企业应用与生产数据。该网络打通生产全流程实时可视链路，强化一线作业与管理团队协同效率，赋能快速精准的数据驱动决策。

As Cargill rolls out SAP ERP across its facilities, NTT DATA’s Private 5G network supports a connected workforce by delivering reliable, low latency access to enterprise applications and operational data on smartphones and ruggedized tablets. This connectivity improves real-time visibility into production processes, enhances collaboration between frontline and operations teams and supports faster, data-driven decision-making.

目前项目主要落地美国本土，欧洲站点已正式投用，其他海外区域正规划部署中。

While the majority of deployments are in the United States, Cargill is also live with NTT DATA’s Private 5G deployments in Europe, with additional regions under consideration.

同时，专用 5G 专网为厂区高级机器人与实体人工智能设备运行筑牢底座。例如嘉吉阿姆斯特丹工厂已部署四足机器人 Spot，升级厂区安全巡检与运营效率。这款 AI 智能机器人可自动视觉巡检、监测设备过热等安全隐患，保障高危、人难抵达区域的人员作业安全。

Private 5G is also enabling advanced robotics and physical AI deployments in operational environments. For example, Cargill has deployed Spot the Dog at its Amsterdam facility to enhance safety and operational efficiency. The AI-powered robot supports use cases such as automating visual inspections, monitoring for hazards such as equipment overheating and improving worker safety in hazardous or hard to reach areas.

嘉吉客户、商业及业务运营数字技术平台工程总监罗伯特・格雷纳表示：“与 NTT DATA 的深度合作，让我们稳步推进全球数字化转型战略。专用 5G 专网搭建安全可扩容底座，全面支撑厂区互联员工、智能机器人及边缘 AI 场景落地。”

“Our work with NTT DATA is a true partnership, allowing us to confidently advance our global digital transformation strategy,” said Robert Greiner, Director Platform Engineering for Customer, Commercial & Business Operations Digital Technology at Cargill. “Private 5G gives us a secure, scalable foundation to support connected workers, robotics and edge AI use cases across our operations.”

NTT DATA 边缘服务全球负责人沙希德・艾哈迈德表示：“制造企业加速布局实体 AI 与智能自动化，安全可靠的专属连接已成为数字化转型核心基石。嘉吉的实践充分证明，专用 5G 专网可补齐传统网络短板，打通技术与运营壁垒，同步提升厂区安全、灵活度与作业效能。”

“As manufacturing organizations expand the use of physical AI and intelligent automation, reliable and secure connectivity becomes foundational to digital transformation,” said Shahid Ahmed, Global Head of Edge Services, NTT DATA, Inc. “Cargill is demonstrating how Private 5G can bring technology and operations together in environments where traditional networks fall short, while improving safety, agility and performance.”

自 2021 年推出全球首个企业级专用 5G 平台以来，NTT DATA 始终领跑工业 4.0 创新赛道，助力多家全球知名企业完成数字化升级变革。

Since introducing the world’s first enterprise Private 5G platform in 2021, NTT DATA has been at the forefront of Industry 4.0 innovation, powering transformation for some of the world’s most recognized brands.
