Rockwell Automation, Inc. collaborated with Comau to Boost Production Capabilities
In April 2021, to maximize industrial capabilities through unified robotic control solutions, Rockwell Automation, Inc. teamed with Comau. Through this agreement, manufacturing operations across industries will be carried out more simpler, more efficiently, and more effectively.
5g Connectivity Technology Advancement And Spending On The New Network Infrastructure To Support Market Expansion
The current IoT-based applications used in smart manufacturing will probably change as the 5G era continues. Future IoT ecosystem architecture could be completely changed by 5G, notably in terms of scalability, latency, reliability, security, and the degree of individual control over connectivity parameters. More complex use cases necessitating improved network capabilities are also emerging as the IoT application domains expand. With speeds measured in the multiple gigabits per second range, millisecond latency, and the ability to accommodate 1,000 times more usage than current network technologies, 5G is capable of providing.
Smart manufacturing solutions with a high initial investment will stifle market expansion.
The most significant worldwide barrier to market expansion is high initial capital requirements. The survey claims that cost is the biggest barrier, followed by a lack of knowledge regarding the best technologies to invest in. The cost has become a serious worry for many businesses since the COVID-19 epidemic broke out, leading to investment reductions and other losses. Large upfront capital expenditures will, therefore, probably hinder the market growth.
Major Players Develop Acquisition Plans to Boost Brand Image
The leading businesses in the smart manufacturing market plan acquisitions to improve their brand recognition globally. For instance, in August 2021, the introduction of Connectix, a line of user-friendly software programs and professional services, was announced by General Electric Company. The service is intended for use in applications for smart manufacturing. The services assist in utilizing data analytics to improve day-to-day manufacturing operations, increase decision-making speed, and increase energy efficiency.
