Industrial automation is a defining technological trend that covers the entire manufacturing sector. Increased demand for sophisticated products and devices paired with a dwindling talent pool of artisans, fabricators, and specialist tradespeople are forcing organizations to look for new ways to increase throughput, maintain quality, and develop cost-effective manufacturing techniques.
McKinsey predicts that the future of manufacturing could include robots that program themselves, libraries of digital twins that track each product’s precise manufacturing journey, and automated assembly cells that learn to improve production processes over time.
