Electric Discharge Machine Market to Witness Growth due to Future Dominance of Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0, widely known as smart factory, is considered the fourth era of industry that merges automation and computing, which can drive the manufacturing sector to move from machine tools to high quality assurance tools. Industry 4.0 includes cyber-physical systems, factory simulation, autonomous robots, cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), cognitive computing, and additive manufacturing. Industry 4.0 can help simulate, design, and take care of physical processes in manufacturing factories with electric discharge machines for cost-effectiveness. It also combines an array of modern automation, intelligence, manufacturing technologies, and data exchange.
Moreover, electric discharge machines (EDM) are preferred in the manufacturing of high efficiency machines or equipment in manufacturing factories to save labor cost (as compared to conventional milling practices), while enhancing the quality of products, which can be used to meet the needs in Industry 4.0 across the world.
