Or, more accurately, the acceleration of their adoption. They\u2019ve been around for decades in large-scale manufacturing, like the automotive sector, but as the technology becomes more accessible, we\u2019ll see pick-up from smaller businesses. Of course, all these robots will be interconnected because of the 4.0 revolution we\u2019re living in right now.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that? 6.0. Yes, that\u2019s right, we are looking that far ahead. Why? Because these revolutions are inevitable, so it\u2019s always good to see them coming. We see a future where WATS is in every manufacturing business.<\/p>\n<p>Alright, stick with it for a moment. We accept that WATS isn\u2019t going to be in EVERY business, but some form of super-powerful analytics platform that supports manufacturing will be. No more DIY solutions, but software that any business can afford to implement and supercharge their manufacturing with actionable insight.
