Opinion: How artificial intelligence redefines automation

by

Article contributed by automatica 2025

The adoption of artificial intelligence is an increasingly critical factor for the viability of industrial production.

European companies run a particular risk of getting left behind with regard to this cutting-edge technology – even though all kinds of industrial AI solutions are readily available and implementing them is now easier than ever. The leading exhibition automatica will impressively demonstrate this in June 2025.

A December 2024 survey by the Statista Research Department details just how precarious the situation is. For example, China has the highest prevalence of AI production technology at 94 percent. [Read more…] about Opinion: How artificial intelligence redefines automation

Furthermore, utilizing other tools like budgeting apps and ride-sharing services can further enhance our financial well-being and help us live more economically. [Read more…] about Electric Vehicles are Part of the Future of Frugal Living

A Detailed Guide on Data Automation: How to Automate Processes

by

Data. From the barcodes on products to our digital footprint, data is a fundamental part of how we live our lives. For organisations, data helps them to develop – not only to survive but thrive in a world where understanding customer behaviour can not only drive sales. It also helps create a long-lasting relationship between businesses and their customers.

Data is often a challenge to handle, though. From a suite of corporate systems to the increasing variety and variability of data, data engineers have long had to wrestle with the challenges of a constantly growing data environment. It doesn’t take a Master of Data Science to understand just how challenging data can be.

Data engineers often turn to automation to solve complex data challenges. An important process in the data lifecycle, data automation can have many benefits, from streamlining complex data systems to automatically creating curated data warehouses for business use and making data more meaningful for end users. Let’s explore data automation and understand how this seemingly benign process greatly benefits organisations. [Read more…] about A Detailed Guide on Data Automation: How to Automate Processes
