This eBook explores how manufacturers can build a smarter automation strategy by combining AI, IIoT connectivity, simulation, digital twins, and robotics into a cohesive technology stack. Rather than focusing on individual technologies, it examines how connected systems, high-quality data, and intelligent software work together to improve productivity, accelerate deployment, and support better engineering decisions.
Readers will gain insights into emerging trends such as physical AI, digital twin technology, workflow orchestration, and the growing role of AI in engineering and product design. The eBook also highlights practical strategies for overcoming common automation challenges, reducing implementation risk, and creating scalable solutions that deliver long-term operational value.
