ASTM Advanced Manufacturing Standards
ASTM robotics and advanced manufacturing standards create a common framework for developing, testing, and deploying technologies that are reshaping global industry.
From robotic systems and automation equipment to additive manufacturing and digital production workflows, these standards ensure that innovation is matched with reliability, safety, and interoperability.
They cover critical areas including system performance, human-robot interaction, safety requirements, and data integration—providing the structure needed to scale advanced technologies with confidence.
As robotics move from controlled environments into more diverse industrial and service settings, standardized performance benchmarks are essential.
ASTM robotics standards define how robotic systems should be evaluated for repeatability, accuracy, endurance, and resilience in real-world conditions. They also address critical aspects of safety, including operator interaction, emergency protocols, and fail-safe functions.
By applying these standards, organizations can deploy robotic systems that perform consistently, integrate seamlessly into production lines, and protect both workers and assets from risk.
