Industry 4.0—also referred to as smart manufacturing, connected manufacturing, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and other monikers—has revolutionized the way companies manufacture, enhance, and distribute products through the use of new technologies. However, not all sectors and markets are evolving at the same pace. To help both manufacturing providers and industry leaders understand the landscape, ABI Research’s Industrial & Manufacturing Markets Research provides insights, perspectives, and data related to digital maturity within individual markets and across the industry landscape. Our research illuminates drivers and inhibitors that are shaping adoption of digital technologies across market maturity, practitioners’ investment priorities, and best practices for deploying the technologies. We keep abreast of key trends, including increasing demand for electric vehicles and semiconductor chips, the adoption of machine learning and automation, and a reliance on digital twins.

Robots now come in many sizes, and in configurations of two to seven axes. They can do simple or complicated work, even surgery, and are easier to integrate than ever into any manufacturing or processing environments, including food zones, clean rooms and warehouses. But what’s most important is to know which type of robot articulated, cartesian, SCARA, delta or cobot fits your needs from both capability and cost standpoints.

Manufacturers are demanding ever-greater precision, accuracy, and reliability from industrial automation. Fortunately, sensors, robot arms, grippers, and the software to connect and guide them have become increasingly capable. In response to the labor and supply chain challenges of the past few years, as well as the demands for personalization and rapid fulfillment, many factories and other facilities are looking to adopt robots or add them to their operations. In this Special Focus Issue, we look at how AI and machine learning are enabling more precise picking, among other applications.
