A&D India - February - March 2022

In dieser Angelegenheit

What will 2022 be all about? Will exhibitions and conferences open up? Will the industry meet more often than it has in the last two years? The answer to these questions may be yes, but let’s get real. We don’t really know for sure. A new variant shows up every now and then and there’s still a very slight scepticism about visiting live trade shows & manufacturing events. But what many industry experts, including a spokesperson at our recently held Manufacturing Business Forum 2022, have said is that the industry is headed for growth and there is hope. And that is more than we all can ask for right now.
It will be stating an obvious fact that the COVID-19 pandemic turned our lives upside down, but again, it fast-tracked the pace of automation and Industry 4.0 within the industry – again, a very well-known fact. So, two years into the pandemic, where will automation take us? What have we learnt from the recovery? What are the trends that will shape Industry 4.0 adoption? And what are the challenges ahead? Flip a few pages ahead to our Cover Story and find out.
Another significant event we have focused on this month’s issue is the financial budget of 2022. We have turned our attention to one very specific technology that was also emphasised at this year’s budget: Artificial Intelligence. For our Viewpoint section, we interacted with a couple of AI companies & experts to get their insights on what the Budget 2022 might have in store in context of AI.
Besides that, we bring you our focus topics on how automation & digitisation have influenced pharmaceutical packaging, how variable speed drives (VSDs) and variable frequency drives (VFDs) are sure shot ways to optimise the energy consumption of conditioned atmosphere & refrigeration process and an interesting case study that elaborates on how a start-up, Axosuits, leveraged on engineering tool - Solid Edge to build an exoskeleton, aka exo-suits for industrial markets.
