Global Industrial Automation Market Definition

The use of control systems, such as computers or robots, and information technology for handling various processes and machinery in an industry to replace a human being is known as Industrial Automation. It is the second step in the industrialization process after mechanization. Industrial Automation reduces operating expenses by eliminating the expense of healthcare, paid leave, and vacations that come with having a human operator. Furthermore, other employee advantages like bonuses, pension coverage, and so on are not required with Industrial Automation. Above all, despite its high initial cost, it saves the workers’ monthly salary, resulting in significant cost savings for the company.

Machines used for Industrial Automation have lower maintenance costs since they are less likely to fail. Only computer and maintenance engineers are required to repair it if it fails. An engineer from Ford Motor Company, who were pioneers in Industrial Automation and manufacturing assembly lines, created the term “automation.” In contrast to today’s sensors, actuators, and computers, the industrial production process once relied on a worker’s eyes, hands, and brain. The error associated with a human being is reduced via automation.

Furthermore, unlike humans, robots do not experience weariness, resulting in items of consistent quality produced at various times. Adding a new task to an assembly line needs human operator training, but robots may be taught to perform any task. This allows for greater flexibility in the manufacturing process. Despite the fact that many corporations recruit hundreds of production workers for up to three shifts to keep the factory running for as long as possible, the factory still needs to be shut down for maintenance and holidays. Industrial Automation helps the corporation achieve its goal by allowing it to run a production plant 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year.

Global Industrial Automation Market Overview

The expansion of the Industrial Automation Market is being fueled by increased expenditures in the transformation of traditional manufacturing facilities through the installation of digitized systems. Automated technologies for asset and staff management, as well as production processes, are used to transform traditional manufacturing facilities. Over the forecast period, the movement toward self-reliant IoT sensors is likely to boost the growth of the Industrial Automation Market, as they can efficiently manage a network of physical items. Several end-user organizations are heavily investing in automation technology in order to reduce costs and increase production.

Due to the worldwide shutdown of industrial operations and manufacturing facilities, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a moderate impact on the market. In the first two quarters of 2020, the manufacturing and processing industries suffered significant losses, reducing demand for robots and automated solutions from manufacturing sectors around the world. However, due to the necessity to automate these facilities, the market has begun to revive in 2021 with the reopening of manufacturing facilities and the restart of industrial operations. This increased demand is due to the necessity to limit human contact in order to prevent the coronavirus from spreading further.

However, due to the necessity to automate these facilities, the market has begun to revive in 2021 with the reopening of manufacturing facilities and the restart of industrial operations. This increased demand is due to the necessity to limit human contact in order to prevent the coronavirus from spreading further. The emphasis on Industrial Automation and optimum resource utilization, increased use of enabling technologies in manufacturing, a rise in the adoption of industrial robots in the manufacturing sector driven by collaborative robots, connected enterprise along with mass production to meet the demands of the growing population are all factors contributing to the market’s growth. and government efforts aimed at promoting the use of Industrial Automation in a variety of industries.

Because of the widespread adoption of automation solutions in the manufacturing, oil & gas, chemicals & materials, and pharmaceutical industries, the Industrial Automation industry is fast expanding. Companies can dramatically cut operating and labor expenses by implementing automation components such as sensors, robotics, machine vision systems, and enterprise control solutions. Manufacturing organizations are rapidly investing in Industrial Automation technology in order to increase system reliability and efficiency, as well as remove human labor-related production mistakes.

However, in emerging nations, the scarcity of qualified staff required to operate these systems poses a significant barrier to market expansion. For the digitization of their respective manufacturing sectors, governments in Europe and Asia-Pacific are pushing the adoption of Industrial Automation technologies and systems. For example, as part of its Made in China 2025 initiative, the Chinese government funded $577 million on the development of industrial robots in 2019. The government’s goal with this plan is to improve China’s manufacturing capacity. China intends to establish top robot manufacturers, construct 8–10 industrial clusters, and enhance robot density as part of its five-year Robot Industry Development Plan.
