The future of manufacturing is automated. It’s fully integrated. It’s agile. And it’s sustainable. Most important, however, is that it’s here. Empowered by advanced analytics, light-detection-and-ranging (LiDAR) sensors, 3D cameras, mapping software and portable laser trackers, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) have been deployed on thousands of factory floors around the world, performing automated tasks while navigating safely from station to station. This gives manufacturers greater reliability, productivity and consistent quality while reducing human risks, downtime and costs.

Control Design covers the implementation of automation components and systems in equipment built for manufacturing and industrial processing. Machine builders and system integrators use industrial controls and associated instrumentation and infrastructure to automate the manipulation of physical objects into higher-value assemblies and configurations as well as the processing of raw materials into substances of greater value.
