Automation industry: "The next few years will be characterized by transformation" 

Quirin Görz: "In the automation industry, the next few years will be characterized by transformation. This primarily includes the data economy, everything to do with simulation and virtual commissioning and, of course, artificial intelligence. For me, however, the digital twin is at the top of the list as a trend for 2025. The digital twin is the basis for the successful and seamless digitalization of factories worldwide. It enables all available data to be collected and visualized simply and intuitively. Thinking ahead, the industrial Mateverse is the next major stage of development. It will become a place for collaboration, sharing experiences and interaction between the digital twin and the real world - from individual machines and products to entire factories, buildings, cities, networks and transportation systems. As with the mobile internet, we will not be able to look back and say when it really began. But the Industrial Metaverse will change the way we do business and shape our daily lives."

Quirin Görz: "Efficiency and resilience will be more important than ever for our economy in 2025. Software and digitalization open up enormous opportunities here and play a decisive role in the competitiveness of our industry. We will hit the ground running in 2025 with our newly established digital division and drive seamless digitalization forward, as smart solutions are needed on the shop floor right now, from 3D simulation to networking and data analysis through to the use of artificial intelligence. Every company must continue to develop, examine new business models and take the right strategic path. It is more important than ever to understand what our customers around the world need from us. Focusing will be essential for success." 

Quirin Görz: "We can look back on more than 125 years of company history, 50 of which have been in the field of robotics. With the new division, we are building on this knowledge. We are moving beyond traditional automation solutions to become a digitalization partner for the manufacturing industry. To this end, we are using the experience we have gained in robotics and automation over decades and pursuing the goal of helping our customers to achieve greater productivity, resilience and sustainability."
