DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 26, 2024 ~ The International Society of Automation (ISA) has released a new position paper titled "Automation Enables Digital Deglobalization Efforts." As the leading professional society for automation, ISA aims to provide guidance and support to businesses facing challenges related to deglobalization.

In recent years, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical instability, protectionism, inflationary conditions, and demands for increased corporate social responsibility and environmental social governance have all contributed to a trend towards deglobalization. In response, businesses are seeking ways to secure themselves from uncertainty by shifting their focus closer to home. This may involve reshoring manufacturing, reducing international trade, investing in local diversification and growth, or other similar activities.

While these efforts aim to increase resilience and mitigate risk, they also come with potential consequences that businesses must consider. Additionally, investors and the public are demanding that companies prioritize environmental and social responsibility. In this context, ISA's position paper highlights the role of automation technology and techniques in supporting digital deglobalization efforts.
