24 Collaborative Robotics - How Far Will It Go? Technical Capability Likely Deployable Reality 24

25 What s predicted? 1. The industrial space has passed the IoT hype hurdle and is into mainstream adoption. 2. The IoT cloud platform market will surge and the major players will come forward. 3. IoT systems architecture will evolve from data collection and analytics to an intelligent situation-driven solution for end users. 4. The ability of edge devices and fog computing will bring about distributed intelligence. 5. The use of digital twins will help companies evolve concepts from digital blueprints to real-world implementation. 6. Despite advances in open standards, integration will remain challenging. 7. Security and privacy will remain key concerns. *source machinedesign.com 25
