Market Overview 2030

Collaborative Robots Reshape the Future of Manufacturing, Enhancing Safety and Productivity.

Cobots are becoming popular in the future of manufacturing since they are compact, easy to use, and programmable with little formal programming. As per the analysis, working with robots cuts human idle time by 85% compared to teams that consist only of humans; cobots enhance efficiency in productivity and increase cost-effective automation within some sectors like automotive, electronics, and pharmaceutical. Performing well in jobs like welding, assembling, and quality control, they are solving the labor shortage problems for firms including Nissan and Betacom. Expectations raised by such massive acquisitions, such as ABB’s USD 280 million robotics campus, point to cobot innovation as the key to flexibility, smart manufacturing, and manufacturing adaptability to the changes by 2030 and beyond.

AI Transforming Manufacturing into Smart and Dynamic Hubs

Artificial Intelligence is a relatively new phenomenon that is gradually transforming the manufacturing industry in terms of efficiency, innovation and intelligent operation that requires limited human interface. The National Associations of Manufacturers Survey reports that 39% of manufacturers are currently using AI, this technology is revolutionalizing industries in machinery, and aircraft components, among others. AI investments are expected to grow to USD 16.7 billion for every year this year and the coming five years increasing the efficiency of operations and modifying the tasks within industries. Some of these major strategies include the Cisco innovative USD 1 billion global fund, Microsoft’s USD 3.3 billion investment in AI, NVIDIA-Foxconn and other formations influence and even revolutionize processes in the making and set standards of what is to come in the next future of manufacturing.

India’s Strategic Investments Will Boost Smart Manufacturing Practices by 2030
