The growing pressure on robotics teams to move faster
Robotics companies are under more pressure than ever to accelerate development timelines. Whether building industrial automation systems, autonomous platforms, or next-generation robotic hardware, teams are expected to move from concept to production faster – without compromising reliability or performance.
At the same time, hardware development is becoming more complex. Mechanical systems, electronics, and software must all come together seamlessly, and each iteration requires physical validation. That’s where many teams run into trouble.
According to Fictiv’s 2025 State of Manufacturing & Supply Chain Report, nearly half of manufacturing leaders say they are struggling to do more with fewer resources, while still navigating supply chain disruptions and rising costs. For robotics teams, those pressures show up most clearly in one place: prototyping. [Read more…] about Reducing Time-to-Market in Robotics with Digital Manufacturing Platforms
