About

Kay Burow is a researcher focused on the intersection of telecommunications and industrial automation, with a particular emphasis on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Her key contributions lie in advancing the readiness of 5G technology for smart manufacturing environments, where she explores the integration of ultra-reliable, low-latency communication into operational technology. Her most-cited work, "5G-Ready in the Industrial IoT-Environment" (2019), has garnered 3 citations and serves as a foundational piece for understanding the deployment challenges and architectural requirements of 5G in industrial settings. Burow’s research addresses critical gaps in network slicing, edge computing, and real-time data processing, helping to bridge the gap between theoretical 5G capabilities and practical industrial applications. Her work is particularly notable for its forward-looking approach, anticipating the scalability and security needs of future smart factories. By clarifying how 5G can enable more responsive and efficient production lines, Burow has contributed to shaping the roadmap for next-generation industrial connectivity, making her insights valuable for both academic researchers and industry practitioners working toward fully automated, data-driven manufacturing ecosystems.
