3 | Data processing technologies : to convert data of varying size , type and velocity into meaningful information . “ Recent advances in data processing technologies allow producers to continuously optimise processes ( such as path planning ).” 4 | Workflow control system : to synchronise all tasks that humans or equipment perform . “ Efficient management of the entire workflow requires the digital connection or integration of both machines and human workers . Workflow control system configurations are likely to evolve from centralised architectures into decentralised ones .”
Why Should Manufacturers Adopt Advanced Robotics ? With the current advanced robotics market value in manufacturing totalling US $ 16.6bn in 2020 , which is expected to rise a further US $ 2bn to US $ 18.6bn in 2021 , it is clear that the digitalisation of operations is providing value for global manufacturers .
Some of the many benefits that can be gained from adopting advanced robotics in manufacturing include :
• Perception : compared to conventional robotics , advanced robots harness natural language processing , computer vision , and sensors to improve autonomy , dexterity and precision . As a result , advanced robotics can complete more complicated tasks . manufacturingglobal . com 93
