Industrial Automation

The industrial automation market is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the integration of advanced IoT, AI, and machine learning technologies.

Customers now seek solutions that enhance operational efficiency, reliability, and remote maintenance. Products such as intelligent factory systems and power station controls must perform seamlessly in harsh environments, which can include extreme temperatures and high levels of shock and vibration.

By leveraging high-end computing platforms, robust user interfaces, and customized hardware, manufacturers can address these challenges. Those who deliver innovative, durable, and scalable industrial automation solutions will lead the future of smart manufacturing and operational efficiency.

Application - Industrial / Robotics

Robotics & Cobots are a complex set of technologies which aid us in applications where Humans are unable to work in harsh environments or under extreme time pressures. High performance hardware coupled with stringent reliability means consistent and dependable platforms to enable the future of Robotics. In addition, Factory and industrial automation work seamlessly with Robotics to further accelerate the Factory of the future. Avnet is at the forefront of the industrial revolution with our innovative approach and cutting-edge technologies.
