Inside the Future of Manufacturing: What End Users in CPG and Life Sciences Need to Know Now

At Automate Show 2025, one key theme echoed across the exhibit halls: industrial end users in consumer-packaged goods (CPG) and life sciences are under growing pressure to produce faster, smarter, and more flexibly—without adding complexity or cost. But while new tech is everywhere, the difference-makers are clear: modular design, integrated energy and automation systems, and scalable AI are unlocking measurable results across the […]

Open Automation Is Rewriting the Rules of Industrial Efficiency

Open automation is fundamentally changing how manufacturers design, deploy, and secure their control systems. By decoupling software from hardware and embracing vendor-neutral standards, industrial organizations gain the flexibility to integrate best-in-class components, implement consistent cybersecurity policies across heterogeneous environments, and unlock granular energy monitoring at the machine level. In this article, IIoT World explores why […]
