The future of the manufacturing industry highly
depends on digital systems that transform existing
production and monitoring systems into autonomous systems fulfilling stringent requirements in
terms of availability, reliability, security, low latency, and positioning with high accuracy. In order
to meet such requirements, private 5G networks
are considered as a key enabling technology. In
this article, we introduce the 5G-CLARITY system
that integrates 5GNR, WiFi, and LiFi access networks, and develops novel management enablers
to operate 5G-Advanced private networks.
We describe three core features of 5G-CLARITY, including a multi-connectivity framework, a
high-precision positioning server, and a management system to orchestrate private network slices.
These features are evaluated by means of packet-level simulations and an experimental testbed
demonstrating the ability of 5G-CLARITY to police
access network traffic, to achieve centimeter-level
positioning accuracy, and to provision private network slices in less than one minute
