4 predictions for 2024: AI set to enhance automation
AI sets a new pace of development in the field of robotics and automation
AI is transforming the world of software development such as reduced software costs, faster processing speeds and more efficiency and accuracy.
Software is a key component of automation, and with AI, software developers will be able to create more customized and optimized solutions for different tasks and challenges..
The development of robotics software will allow for greater sharing and reuse
Robot software is a means of closely connecting users with mechanical components and systems. Software developments are enabling a new dimension of collaboration – connecting robot users.
2024 will see software developments leading to new levels of sharing and reuse. Imagine a world in which, instead of reinventing the wheel, we leverage existing software assets—components, interfaces, algorithms—across multiple applications.
Companies will combine IT and OT using data to improve operations
The future of manufacturing is closely linked to IT/OT integration as data will improve, be updated regularly, and lead to innovation and efficiency. Research shows that the manufacturing industry is at the forefront of adopting cloud-based software services to improve quality, cost efficiency and predictability.
The benefits of this digital evolution are significant. Remote access to production data enables rapid response to issues and continuous automation improvements.
With dynamic systems now essential, reliable cloud technologies provide the most modern and secure services. Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) companies highlight this progress, promising improved efficiency and reduced downtime through visualization of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and predictive maintenance.
Logistics will be the focus area for robots
The logistics sector will become the focus of robotics development. High growth is expected for collaborative robots in the period 2023-2027, especially in logistics.
Logistics companies are facing the challenge of labor shortages and increased pressure due to globalization and e-commerce. Many logistics centers will turn to automation to provide faster and more accurate service, helping to reduce pressure and increase efficiency in an increasingly e-commerce environment.
