DigiKey at embedded world 2025 with Analog Devices

At embedded world 2025, Maurice O’Brien, Director, Strategic Marketing at Analog Devices, discusses high-level industrial automation trends. He highlights the transformation towards the digital factory of the future, driven by advanced automation, hybrid connectivity, and sensor fusion. Robotics, decentralised control, and private 5G networks are shaping more intelligent and flexible manufacturing environments.

O’Brien emphasises that data is central to sustainable automation, enabling manufacturers to optimise efficiency, reduce material waste, and enhance real-time decision-making through Edge-to-Cloud connectivity. He notes that 80% of US manufacturing assets are still not networked, presenting a significant opportunity for digital transformation. Analog Devices is evolving beyond traditional silicon solutions, providing integrated subsystems for robotics, machine vision, and navigation to accelerate industrial automation. Looking ahead, AI at the Edge will be crucial in enabling real-time insights and driving the next phase of smart manufacturing.
