SAP Solution: robot

A look back at all the new developments presented at Boomi World 2025 in Dallas, Texas. Developments such as AI agents, expansion in EMEA, better API management and many more.

The challenges in logistics and intralogistics could hardly be greater. Whereas 30 years ago the use of robots, AI and gripping technology was only a dream of the future, today the industry will soon no longer be able to do without them.

The order books for robotics and automation are currently well filled. However, disruptions in the supply chains and a sharply rising shortage of skilled workers are slowing things down.

Germany is the most automated economy in Europe: Robot density - the number of industrial robots per 10,000 employees - is rising to a new record.

It is no secret that master data is crucial to the success of Industry 4.0 scenarios, because it forms the basis for the networked exchange of information. Only those who ensure high data quality can sustainably digitize processes.

A globally operating automotive supplier in Denklingen, Bavaria, is not only focusing on teaching the latest technologies in its vocational training. With the help of the standard software Bluelight, the entire training organization was digitized and improved.

Today, demands on companies have increased enormously. Everything needs to be faster, better and more efficient in order to keep up with the competition and meet customer expectations. The digitization of processes alone is not enough to increase speed and reduce cost pressure.

Workers in many industries today worry about robots taking their jobs. Paul Roehrig, Chief Strategy Officer, Cognizant, advises taking a pragmatic view of artificial intelligence.

Experts predict a bright future for the technology and the market for artificial intelligence (AI). The market volume in 2016 was put at 643.7 million US dollars. According to market research firm Tractica, the market volume is expected to double as early as 2017.

Our society is facing a radical upheaval and a change in work processes. Are artificial intelligence and robots on the rise?

What strategies can be used to successfully harness the digital transformation? Opinion leaders will discuss this at the 2nd Handelsblatt Industry 4.0 Summit.
