How Automation and AI Are Transforming Industries

From labs to food processing and manufacturing, AI-driven automation is driving smarter, faster, and more efficient industrial innovation across the world.

From laboratories to production floors, AI and automation are revolutionizing global industries in 2025. The laboratory automation market is projected to hit $6.3 billion by 2035, while robotics and AI are redefining safety and precision in food processing. In manufacturing, automation is enhancing supply chain resilience and energy efficiency through smart factories and adaptive robotic systems. Warehouses now use AI-powered robots that learn and make real-time decisions, improving logistics and speed. For education and vocational training, this means updating courses to include digital design, CAD/CAM automation, and IoT-enabled building systems. Even traditional trades like plumbing and pipe-fitting now intersect with smart sensors and automated maintenance. The message is clear: AI is not replacing human skills — it’s enhancing them for a smarter, more connected industrial world.
