Factory Automation  

factory automation

The world of manufacturing is changing. Call it Industry 4.0, the 4th industrial revolution, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), it’s all about doing things just in time, concurrently, more efficiently, more flexibly, and in a safer and more environmentally friendly manner.

To ensure the high level of automation required in today’s industrial applications, equipment must be more efficient, intelligent and aware of the context, and more connected and robust than ever before as well as ensure greater safety for humans interacting with them.

Semiconductors are a key enabler for Smart Industry applications, and with over 30 years of experience in the design and manufacture of products for factory automation and industrial applications, ST can help build the factories of tomorrow with products and solutions that aid developers in addressing design challenges.
