Next-Generation Manufacturing & Automation Subject Matter Experts

The factory floor is undergoing a significant transformation. Rising product complexity, tight labor markets, regional supply-chain pressures, and the demand for faster model changeovers are driving OEMs and suppliers to rethink how vehicles, electronics, and industrial systems get built. The focus is on robotics, machine vision, and wire harness assembly automation that can transition work done by hand into repeatable, data-rich processes.

For the transportation industry in particular, the move toward software-defined vehicles, zonal architectures, and high-voltage electrification is reshaping the wire harness itself, and with it, the equipment, tooling, and processes used to manufacture it. Localized automated production is becoming a strategic priority for both cost and resilience.

TE Connectivity's experts can speak to how robotics, automation-ready designs, and wire harness automation are converging to enable the next generation of manufacturing.
