Industrial Automation Market Drivers and Opportunities

Use of Artificial Intelligence Technology to Favor the Market

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming manufacturing in incredible ways. AI enables machines to learn, adapt, and make decisions autonomously. Manufacturers utilize the technology to uncover asset patterns and anomalies to optimize production and save downtime. For example, incorporating AI into industrial robots and drones enhances precision and aids in activities such as inspection, maintenance, and material handling. This decreases the need for human involvement, lowers the danger of accidents, increases maintenance efficiency, and extends equipment life. Moreover, operations technology (OT) engineers who are familiar with operations and equipment are increasingly using sophisticated AI technologies with visual, point-and-click user interfaces (UI). The availability of prebuilt machine learning (ML) apps and industrial demand for automation is fueling the market.

Demand for Immersive Technologies for Real-Time Information-Sharing

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are immersive technologies that enable real-time information sharing to aid worker training, eliminate human errors, and boost performance. That implies VR and AR may add significant commercial value by improving worker safety, increasing productivity, and reducing downtime. AR can aid industrial enterprises by facilitating return-to-work measures such as remote collaboration, remote assistance, augmented work instructions, and 3D training. AR is also assisting with longer-term, future-of-work strategies aimed at closing the skills gap and driving significant gains. Augmented reality is becoming increasingly important in the workplace.

  • Stream Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and sensor data to improve condition monitoring, troubleshooting, and repairs.
  • View immersive 3D work instructions for assembly, inspection, and maintenance procedures.
  • Get step-by-step guidance and on-demand assistance from seasoned professionals.
  • Pass comments on the circumstances they observe in the factory or field back into the connected digital thread, enabling closed-loop feedback throughout the company.

Operators and service technicians use highly demanding augmented reality to streamline operational processes.
