AI as a Growth Driver for Motion & Power Transmission industries
As artificial intelligence reshapes industries across the globe, the power transmission and industrial motion sector is no exception. In our cover story, we spotlight a groundbreaking technology roadmap that reveals just how central AI has become, not only in driving automation, but also in transforming the future of manufacturing. With billions in investment and thousands of patents filed, artificial intelligence is evolving from a supportive tool into a strategic engine for long-term growth. The introduction of agentic AI, capable of making decisions and taking actions independently, marks a new frontier in industrial operations, drastically cutting downtime, increasing responsiveness, and unlocking new levels of efficiency.
Beyond our feature on AI, this new edition explores innovations that continue to push the boundaries of performance and design. From renewable energy to manufacturing, from logistics to industrial automation, new solutions are driving measurable improvements in efficiency, sustainability, and reliability. The evolution of mechanical systems is playing a critical role in supporting the global shift toward cleaner energy and more efficient infrastructure.
Equally important is the transformation happening in maintenance and operational practices. Enhanced approaches to installation, lubrication, and condition monitoring are minimizing downtime, extending equipment life, and improving safety across industries. These changes reflect a broader trend: the integration of digital tools, precision engineering, and smart materials is redefining how the industry operates, delivering greater value through every turn, lift, and rotation.
Whether your focus is on AI, advanced components, or reliability optimization, this issue of Motion+Drives offers a window into the innovations shaping the next decade of industrial motion. We invite you to explore every article, reflect on new ideas, and continue your journey toward smarter, more sustainable motion systems.
