Manufacturing environments have long relied on robotic systems to streamline processes on the shop floor, aiming to enhance efficiency, output,
and product integrity while reducing human intervention. Yet, with the advent of digitalisation, IIoT, and Industry 4.0, the integration of automation and robotics has witnessed a notable increase in recent years. Additionally, robotics and automation are not just limited to the factory floor. Today, they are increasing their presence in warehouses and handling logistics. One big reason for this paradigm shift is the growth of collaborative robots, which can work alongside humans safely. Experts predict that the revenues generated from using robots will exponentially rise in the coming years, with an expected 15 percent growth per year until 2027.
This expansion extends beyond traditional manufacturing spaces, including warehouses and intra-logistics operations, where global enterprises increasingly embrace robotic technologies. Collaborative robots have played an important role in fostering this widespread adoption, facilitating safer shop floor operations. But as factories get more digital, automated, and autonomous, there is a new worry: safety and security. There have been reports of accidents caused by robots malfunctioning and causing damage to humans and machines. Moreover, today, factories are increasingly connected to the IT infrastructure and are more at risk from hackers. Since the pandemic, cybercrime has shot up by 600 percent. Pilz India is stepping in to tackle these challenges, providing solutions to ensure factories and shop floors are not only connected and efficient but also safe and secure from cyber threats. Pilz ensures the safety of machines, humans, and the environment, even with rapidly evolving technology.
