The manufacturing industry had significantly evolved from the industrial revolution when water and steam-powered machines were in use to the adoption of computer and automation technology. The fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0 optimizes the third revolution's digitization with smart and autonomous systems that are fueled by data and machine learning. Industry 4.0 holds huge potential for manufacturing companies in various industries to enable product customization, provide flexibility to meet new demands in real-time, and produce more efficient operations. The focus of industrial automation developments is centered on advanced technology capabilities and enhanced efficiency of the assembly line. The need for automation is growing as companies in multiple sectors look for new ways to enhance productivity and competitiveness. New trends are emerging due to technological development in industrial automation machines, including the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), collaborative robots, and more precision in manufacturing technology. Moreover, the evolution of robot precision has enabled more processes, such as microscopic assembly, to be automated. The rotary indexing machines are tailored to the customer’s specific applications having high precision, repeatability, productivity, and low maintenance. They are used in various applications such as assembly, machining, testing, printing, positioning and transfer, parts separation, bottle filling, induction hardening, ultrasonic cleaning machine, polishing machine, riveting machine, packaging machine, printing machines, cap fitting machine, tube filling machines, drilling machines, and welding machines. They are also used in Stator insulation types of machinery, trimming machines, and automatic assembly machines. Thus, wide scope of application in various industries and a rise in automation integration in end-use industries are anticipated to propel the demand for rotary indexers in the manufacturing industries, which is expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period.
