Automation 101 - The Coming U.S Manufacturing Renaissance: 2016-2021 - President Trump's Manufacturing Jobs Initiative will Spark a Renaissance in U.S. Manufacturing Activity

Dublin, Feb. 16, 2017 -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Automation 101 - The Coming U.S Manufacturing Renaissance, Global Markets, Competitors And Opportunities: 2016-2021 Analysis And Forecasts" report to their offering.

The premise of this report is that the President Trump's Manufacturing Jobs Initiative will spark a renaissance in U.S. manufacturing activity, which has been in decline for more than 35 years. This, in turn, will lead to a large increase in demand for Automation equipment and services both in the U.S. and worldwide.

In fact, this has already started to happen. Companies that already have announced plans to increase their manufacturing operations in the U.S. include: Alibaba, Boeing, Carrier, Ford, Foxconn, GM, Hyundai, Intel, Lockheed Martin, Merck, Samsonite, Samsung, Softbank and Toyota among others.

Specifically, this report examines:

- Automation: history, impact on workforce, increase in GDP, robotics, new industries, spending by sector and the main beneficiaries.
- Automation Industry: segmentation, Process vs. Discrete vs. Hybrid, systems, networks, controllers, HMI, drives, servomotors, sensors, key drivers, Capex, business optimization, convergence of IT and OT.
