HMS Networks has released its annual analysis of the industrial network market, revealing key trends and developments. After an exceptional surge in 2023, the market experienced a slight slowdown in 2024, with a decrease of approximately 10–11% in newly installed nodes. This dip is primarily attributed to a more challenging economic environment, ongoing uncertainties, and excess production capacity in highly automated sectors such as automotive and manufacturing, particularly in Europe.
The $53 trillion manufacturing economy in the US is undergoing a major automation paradigm shift due to Artificial Intelligence (AI). Thanks to new practical frameworks, automation projects that were once impossible or inefficient to implement are now being fast-tracked, and robotics automation is becoming increasingly relevant to a growing number of users and scenarios.
Honeywell did not invite me to this year’s HUG. I’m not sure when I was last there. I had attended the software group’s event a couple of times lately, but I think that it is history. Looks like they addressed the impending breakup of the corporation into three components and looked at the development of its portfolio. You can check out the reports from my old colleagues Mike Baccidore and Jim Montague at Endeavor Business Media.
