The Siemens whitepaper explores how advanced robotics is transforming factories to handle complexity, customization, and dynamic production needs. Traditional automation struggles with flexibility, but new robotics integrate AI, IIoT, and digital twins for real-time decision-making and adaptability. It outlines four phases of adoption—from basic automation to fully autonomous systems with self-optimizing capabilities. These innovations enable faster product changeovers, reduced downtime, and smarter collaboration between humans and machines. By leveraging adaptive robotics, manufacturers can achieve scalable, high-mix production and prepare for the future of Industry 4.0.
