From "Blind" Robots to AI Intelligence: The Story of Automation

Did you know that the first industrial robot, Unimate, was installed back in 1961?

Since then, Machine Automation has come a long way. ????

Our latest blog post takes a deep dive into the history and future of automation. We trace the path from the steam-powered inventions of the Industrial Revolution to the rigid "software-defined" systems of the late 20th century.

Today, we are witnessing a massive shift toward AI-Driven Intelligence. Unlike traditional PLCs that require constant reprogramming, modern AI systems can:
Learn from Data: Make informed decisions with minimal human intervention.
Adapt in Real-Time: Handle unexpected variables without stopping production.
Continuously Improve: Enhance defect detection and efficiency the longer they run.

Whether you are looking to optimize your or just curious about how we got here, this is a must-read for every engineer.
