Increased robotics investments driving automation benefits

While robotics initially took off in the automotive industry, its spread through other markets has been led by increased opportunities to streamline workflow and the proof that the trend doesn't impact employment opportunities. With new highs in robotics shipments, firms are demonstrating a need for improvements that can be achieved with these resources, like automation. Getting the production and IT networks aligned for these efforts is simply one piece of the puzzle.

The global push toward manufacturing automation is further supported by remote working efforts, the utilization of mobile devices on the production floor and the deployment of wireless networks, allowing firms to expedite these processes and provide a stronger foundation for further advances.
