Megatrends

Megatrends will have ramifications for the production systems of the future

The megatrends of globalization, automation and digitalization are permanently changing the worlds of production and logistics. Demographic change, customization, scarcity of resources and the shift in economic power are further accelerating this transformation.

Even if the degree of influence and the possible consequences differ from case to case, every company must address these megatrends in order to develop future-proof ideas and solutions. At KUKA, we are embracing these global trends and shaping tomorrow’s solutions today. Learn more about this on the following pages.

Demographic change

Increasing life expectancy, falling birth rates – these trends result in an aging society. The world of production is also affected by this.

Digitalization and IIoT projects

Digital transformation will have repercussions for almost every company. What kind of impact will the digitalization of activities and processes have on the production environment of tomorrow?

Customization

The social trend of customization is altering consumer behavior and therefore the demands placed on manufacturing companies.

Scarcity of resources

Raw materials, energy, land: a company’s ability to access and work with finite resources has a direct impact on its competitive position.

Shift in economic power

New sales markets and local customer requirements are heightening the relevance of global production sites with processes and systems that are appropriate for the location.
