We are changing the way industry thinks about automation
The future of industry is in automation, but not in the sense that human beings are removed from the equation. Bell Labs is developing cognitive autonomous systems that interact, collaborate and co-exist with workers, achieving new levels of efficiency and opening up new business models in the process.
We aren’t merely automating the network and the industrial applications that depend on those networks. We are building the systems that will fuse the digital and physical worlds and laying the foundation for the industrial metaverse. These technologies will augment our daily lives, giving us greater agency in how we comprehend and engage with our surroundings.

The industrial metaverse is coming, bringing with it endless possibilities for the future of both industry and society.
