Siemens produced this attractive video to illustrate what it sees as a likely representation of the machining facility of the future.

Those developments include lightweight machine construction aimed at energy savings, automation aimed at the same goal, networked machine tools fully integrated into the IT architecture, self-diagnosing machines that are less reliant on operator knowledge, and sophisticated systems for collision avoidance.
