Industry 4.0 is a new phase of the industrial revolution, which highly focuses on automation, interconnectivity, real-time data, and machine learning. By combining industry 4.0 with automation systems, traditional industrial facilities are gradually evolving into smart, connected, and highly efficient automated facilities. Industry 4.0 is also known as intelligent manufacturing and operations, which combines smart digital technology with manufacturing and supply chain management to create a better-connected ecosystem. It forms a single automated unit that combines computers and industrial automation solutions with the help of robotics. A network of connected devices creates a smart architecture capable of making decentralized decisions. The adoption of automated guided vehicles among Industry 4.0 companies is expected to improve warehouse safety and allow companies to achieve higher levels of lean manufacturing. Further, it is expected to increase company’s productivity and profitability while lowering long-term costs. Furthermore, the overall adoption of industry 4.0 by companies is significantly low and holds a potential opportunity for the AGV market players. Industry 4.0 also aims to create an operational environment wherein humans and robots can work together efficiently in warehouse. For instance, AGVs and robots are used in the warehouses of DHL Supply Chain, a division of Deutsche Post DHL. With this, manual picking in its warehouse is set to be automated. Thus, manufacturing of automated guided vehicles with the incorporation of industry 4.0 is anticipated to provide remarkable growth opportunities for players operating in the SAM automated guided vehicle market.
