The term kinematics is particularly important in the fields of automation, robotics, industry and Factory 4.0. Kinematics describes the movement of bodies, i.e. how things move through space - without worrying about why they are moving. It's all about the "how", i.e. speed, path and direction.
A simple example: In a modern factory, robotic arms move components from one station to the next. Kinematics helps to plan these movements precisely so that everything runs smoothly and without collisions. For example, kinematics is used to calculate the path the robot arm must take so that it works quickly and precisely.
This is important for decision-makers in companies because well-planned kinematics make processes more efficient and safer. This saves time and costs and ensures that expensive machines are utilised optimally. Kinematics are therefore key to ensuring that automation and robots can work reliably and productively in industry.
