Trends in Automation: intelligence and connectivity

In recent years, automation systems have evolved from simple convenience devices into essentials for security, comfort, and energy efficiency.

Today, the sector is no longer limited to basic functionality: it focuses on intelligent, connected, and integrated systems, both for installers and for everyday users.

The global automated systems market is estimated at over USD 134 billion in 2025, with continuous growth in the following years, driven by security, energy efficiency, and connectivity.

This evolution aligns with the experience gained over more than 40 years by Motorline in developing solutions that combine technology, reliability, and simplicity, always aiming to make installers’ work easier and improve the end customers’ experience.

Intelligent and Connected Automation

Automatic gates, glass doors, automatic barriers, and rapid doors no longer operate in isolation.

Studies indicate that 40% of new installations incorporate IoT and remote connectivity, enabling monitoring, predictive maintenance, and centralized control.

Motorline follows this trend with intelligent solutions such as the MCONNECT range and communicators, which make it possible to control multiple devices remotely, receive real-time alerts, and program customized operating routines.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

In addition to connectivity, energy efficiency is a growing priority in the sector. New automation installations are increasingly designed to reduce energy consumption and optimize resources, reflecting the rising concern with sustainability and operating costs.

According to industry studies, around 40% of new installations consider energy efficiency as a key criterion when choosing equipment.

In practice, this translates into solutions that reduce thermal losses, optimize the operation of gates and rapid doors, and enable energy management.

Motorline has been applying these principles in its solutions, ensuring efficient equipment without compromising safety or reliability.

Security and Access Control

With the increasing interconnection of systems, security has become fundamental. More than 50% of property managers point to digital security as a priority when installing connected automated systems.

Intelligent access control has evolved to include keypads, photocells, app-based authentication, or facial recognition, allowing faster and more secure entries and exits.

Motorline integrates these systems with gates, barriers, and automatic doors, creating complete solutions that combine security, comfort, and ease of use.

The Future of Automation

Studies also indicate that 36% of users connect three or more automated devices into joint routines, creating integrated and efficient experiences.

Users are increasingly looking for systems that learn and adapt to their daily routines.

Looking toward 2026 and beyond, automation systems are no longer mere mechanisms. The future lies in integrated intelligence, full connectivity, and user-centered experiences, creating safer, more comfortable, and more efficient environments.

For Motorline, this means continuing to innovate, bringing technology that simplifies installation, optimizes operation, and improves the lives of those who use it.

With over 40 years of experience, the brand remains at the forefront of the sector, developing solutions that combine reliability, innovation, and simplicity, helping partners deliver real value to end customers.
