Neu-Isenburg, 15 June, 2026 – Arrow Electronics has launched a new factory automation resource hub designed to support original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), system integrators and engineering teams developing next-generation industrial systems.
To help customers navigate this complexity, Arrow has developed a comprehensive suite of technical resources focused on machine vision and motor control – two critical pillars of modern automation systems. The online hub includes a range of in-depth content, including whitepapers, webinars, on-demand event sessions and additional resources covering intelligent sensing, motion systems and real-time automation design.
As manufacturers accelerate the transition to Industry 4.0, production environments are becoming increasingly connected, data-driven and complex. Integrating machine vision, motion control, sensing and connectivity into cohesive systems presents growing challenges around synchronisation, real-time performance and scalability.
“Insights from our recent Factory Automation Summit highlighted that system failures are most likely to occur at integration points rather than within individual subsystems, while deterministic communication is essential to achieving real-time performance”, said Morten Block, global engineering director, segments and technology go-to-market, Arrow Electronics. “The discussions also underscored that although AI adoption is increasing in targeted applications, scaling remains complex, and that trade-offs across sensing, control and connectivity can significantly impact overall system behaviour.”
Arrow’s global business support for factory automation combines system-level architecture expertise with validated components, engineering support and lifecycle management services. This helps customers accelerate development, reduce integration complexity, and scale automation systems more reliably from design through deployment.
