Job security is top of mind for workers within the manufacturing space and that concern is growing with the increasingly prevalent AI and IoT technologies that are changing the manufacturing landscape. The fear that robots will take over and annihilate the need for people continues to dominate conversations regarding automating manufacturing processes.

The reality – the world is changing and the need to re-imagine supply chains is more complicated than ever. Will robots take over as apocalyptic movies have bred fear for decades or will they support emerging needs in an ever more complex global society?

The global pandemic has continued to drive industrial innovation, leading to a greater reliance on automation and the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things). We've been adapting our outlook for the future to take account of more remote modes of working, and a more intimate collaboration with AI and machines. Topics whose importance we predicted in last year's 2021 Manufacturing Trends are still at the head of the line for 2022, such as safety and predictive maintenance. The core elements of industrial development also continue to feature strongly, including additive manufacturing, big data analytics and resource planning.

Our team have been discussing the biggest trends that we think will change manufacturing in 2022. Find out our predictions from our team of manufacturing experts.

Industry 4.0 is described as the fourth wave of the industrial revolution. The first was the introduction of steam power, the second, electricity and mass production. The third wave was the introduction of computers, and the fourth builds on that, utilizing smart technology. I Scoop defines industry 4.0 as “a name for the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies, including cyber-physical systems, the Internet of things, cloud computing and cognitive computing and creating the smart factory.”

The latest trends for industrial internet of things (IIOT) can hugely impact the industry sector, favoring the transition towards a much more advanced, automated, and interconnected "4.0" environment.
