Automation has become a crucial part of any industry. It is difficult to imagine a world without automation. It has come to a point where it is not about the importance of automation, but the efficiency it brings to the table. High energy savings, reduction in the total cost of ownership, and decentralisation ensure whether a product is a success. The benefits of automation are to make operations leaner, while using lesser materials and reduce waste.

This year, however, brought in a plethora of hardships for all industries across the world with the pandemic shoving everything to a standstill. Most companies suffered huge losses during the lockdown, but most of them have gotten back on the track and are already finding ways to better their services.

The covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of automation technologies by both global and Indian companies. The ongoing situation has helped organisations realize the benefits of digitization, which is not only about improving productivity but also keeping the business on track. The manufacturing plants that adopted automation technology were not affected majorly as they already had remote operations up and running. However, those who were dependent on traditional production processes faced multiple challenges.
