most, manufacturers can create environments that are flexible enough to support increasingly autonomous machines without sacrificing performance or reliability.


ConneCtivity Will Define the next inDustrial revolution The International Federation of Robotics believes intelligent human-machine collaboration will become commonplace before the end of the decade. If that prediction proves accurate, the implications extend far beyond mere productivity. Factory floors will become more adaptable,


production processes more responsive, and workers will increasingly be supported by machines capable of understanding context in the same way a human might, rather just blindly following instructions or routine task chains. The thing missing from the discussion,


however, is that none of this will happen because robots suddenly become smarter. They will undoubtedly get smarter as models improve, but the real breakthrough will come from the infrastructure that allows intelligence


to move freely between machines, applications, data sources, and people.
