Jalal Bouhdada, Founder & CEO at Applied Risk , discusses the rise of industrial robotics and how we can increase the cyber resilience of production environments in the future. It is increasingly likely that a factory worker today will find themselves employed as part of a diverse workforce, one which includes industrial robots. That is because the industry is rapidly gaining popularity, so much so that it is expected that 4 million commercial robots will be installed in over 50,000 warehouses by 2025; 4,000 of those were deployed in 2018 alone . As time goes on, there's every likelihood that more workplace colleagues will be of the robotic kind. This is of course having a positive impact in industrial environments. Robots are becoming an integral part of Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), helping to boost productivity, streamline operations an...
