AIFactories add robots because they handle repetitive, precise work at high speed, and the International Federation of Robotics reported about 5 million industrial robots in operation worldwide in 2025, up 11% from the prior year. Advanced Technology Services says predictive maintenance uses robot data such as vibration, temperature and motor current to flag developing faults before they force equipment offline.
