Robotics and Mechatronics in Industry 4.0: Enhancing Automation and Efficiency

Abstract

Connecting robots with mechatronics using Industry 4.0 technology has revolutionized factory operations for increased automation, efficiency, and improved adaptability. Advanced industrial robots with artificial intelligence potential have the ability to read sensor data independently in an effort to differentiate between different kinds of products and respond toward self-designed decisions thus expanding their capacity base beyond their programming instructions. Agile processes evolve to include new design requirements and technological advancements thus showing more organizational performance compared to the conventional manufacturing standards. Cyber-physical systems and Internet of Things (IoT) convergence led to the development of smart factories as responsive in the sense of resource optimization as well as improved ergonomics. The technology is blended with data-hungry sensors and wireless networks and processing capabilities that oversee the entire manufacturing process from production through delivery to end-use exploitation. The transformation entails business and value process integration of customers and business partners. Sophisticated robotics systems have to be utilized with regard and assessment towards human-robot work partnership in specific for assembly work for safety and performance enhancement. Industry 4.0's complete potential will require resolving crucial issues about cybersecurity in addition to standardization and human-robot interaction because these technologies continue to evolve
