If you prefer listening, check out our podcast summarizing the most relevant insights from Digital Powertools CW 47/ 48:
Cordless platforms scaling into heavy duty
Hilti positioned Nuron as the backbone for heavy duty cordless execution, removing cable dependency even for breakers and rotary hammer classes
Tool spotlights reinforced operator focused engineering with torque control, lower vibration and better balance to reduce fatigue
Framing shifted from convenience to cordless as default for core site tasks, with productivity and safety positioned as platform outcomes
Heavy duty coverage signals cordless maturity where reliability and power now challenge wired tools
Connected and automated jobsite execution
Hilti SPEC2SITE illustrated a continuous digital pipeline from design through overhead drilling and support layout installation
Digital documentation and construction software positioned as enablers of risk reduction, quality assurance and faster coordination
Husqvarna Autogrinder demonstrated semi-autonomous workflows for repetitive surface preparation
Productivity narrative pointed toward automation as the next step change rather than incremental tool improvements
New tools and accessory innovation
Hilti introduced cordless solutions for elevator shaft fastening and cable transit sealing focused on speed, cleanliness and compliance
Bosch expanded EXPERT with durability-oriented accessories and introduced new measuring and diagnostics tools for faster material testing
Milwaukee added ecosystem growth through cordless pipe grooving and TRUEVIEW lighting with remote control and customisation
FEIN, Stanley and DeWalt added breadth with precision cutting, grinder upgrades and POWERSHIFT enabled workflows
Partnerships, routes to market and ecosystem framing
Bosch Power Tools Italy announced a partnership with MediaWorld to strengthen omnichannel presence and retail reach
ABB and Bosch mention highlighted power tools integrating into automation and robotics stacks
Power tools framed as digital ecosystem components instead of isolated hardware
Distribution strategy now stands as important as tool performance
Events and field enablement as adoption engines
SPS 2025 highlighted ctrlX OS, open software layers and mobile robotics linking power tools to factory and jobsite automation
Hilti and Bosch used live events to demonstrate cordless and digital solutions through hands on validation
On site trainings accelerated adoption especially for fastening and measurement workflows where technique matters
Field enablement positioned as a primary driver of tool adoption rather than marketing messaging
What this means for the Digital Powertools storyline
Cordless platforms are entering maturity where heavy duty performance and user safety become core battlegrounds
Digital value is shifting upstream into planning, documentation and engineering environments
Partnerships, omnichannel presence and distribution alignment are becoming as strategic as the tools themselves
