As we approach 2025, the question of which technologies will dominate industry and society becomes increasingly relevant. According to a new study by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the key technologies for the next 12 months will be robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud computing. But what else can we expect?

Technologies That Will Define the Future

The survey, involving 355 technology leaders from Brazil, China, India, the UK, and the USA, reveals that industrial automation and machine learning will remain at the forefront. The integration of AI into manufacturing processes, the metaverse, and quantum computing also emerge as key players.

In addition, extended reality (XR), which includes augmented, virtual, and mixed reality, the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and electric vehicles, are expected to play a significant role.

What Does the Multiengineering Audience Think?

We also conducted a poll among our followers on social media, asking: “What will be the most important technologies in 2025?” Here are the results:

  • Industrial Automation: 57%
  • Artificial Intelligence: 24%
  • Virtual Reality: 14%
  • Cloud Computing: 5%

These results clearly indicate that automation remains a key driver for the future of manufacturing.

Five Key Trends in Industrial Automation for 2025

Multiengineering identifies five major trends that will shape the future of industrial automation:

  1. Smarter Maintenance Through Data-Driven Automation
    Predictive maintenance based on data analysis will reduce machine downtime and improve efficiency.
  2. Adaptive Systems for Smart Manufacturing
    As manufacturing environments grow increasingly complex, adaptive systems will enable dynamic responses to changing conditions.
  3. Collaboration as a Driver of Innovation
    Collaboration with technology partners, clients, and academic institutions will accelerate the adoption of new technologies.
  4. Personalized Energy-Efficient Solutions
    By customizing each machine to meet specific client needs and power capacities, production facilities can maximize electricity usage, achieving greater energy efficiency and cost savings.
  5. Ethical AI and Transparent Solutions
    As industrial automation advances, ethical standards and transparency will be crucial for building trust between companies and their employees.

The Future of Industrial Automation

Technologies in manufacturing not only optimize processes but also create opportunities for autonomous and self-regulating systems.
