Foreword
At ST, we are 50,000 creators and makers of
semiconductor technologies mastering the semiconductor
supply chain with state-of-the-art manufacturing
facilities. An integrated device manufacturer, we work with
more than 200,000 customers and thousands of partners
to design and build products, solutions, and ecosystems
that address their challenges and opportunities, and
the need to support a more sustainable world. Our
technologies enable smarter mobility, more efficient
power and energy management, and the wide-scale
deployment of cloud-connected autonomous things. We
are on track to be carbon neutral in all direct and indirect
emissions (scopes 1 and 2), product transportation,
business travel, and employee commuting emissions
(our scope 3 focus), and to achieve our 100% renewable
electricity sourcing goal by the end of 2027.

Factory automation is at the core of the ongoing
industrial revolution, driving efficiency, precision,
and innovation. Industry 4.0 introduced digital
connectivity, data analytics, and smart systems
that transformed manufacturing processes.
Now, Industry 5.0 builds on this foundation
by fostering collaboration between humans
and machines, emphasizing personalization,
sustainability, and resilience.
STMicroelectronics (ST) plays a crucial role in
this evolution, offering advanced semiconductor
solutions that enable seamless integration of
sensors, microcontrollers, and connectivity
technologies. ST's portfolio empowers
manufacturers to implement real-time monitoring,
predictive maintenance, and intelligent
automation, essential for smart factories.
This ebook highlights how ST's
innovative technologies support
the transition to Industry 4.0
and 5.0, helping businesses
enhance productivity while
embracing flexibility and
sustainability. It serves as a
strategic resource for leaders
seeking to harness the power
of factory automation to drive
future-ready manufacturing.
