EM - Efficient Manufacturing - December 2022

Dans ce numéro

Ratan Tata once said, “Digital India is no bubble; it’s here to stay.” Well, this is certainly here to stay, as post-pandemic, we have witnessed how an ecosystem of organisations across several industries has evolved with the help of digital transformation.
Integrating intelligent technology into all levels of an organisation has also been key for businesses to increase efficiency, improve customer service, and reduce costs. Historically, machines have both created and replaced jobs. With technological advancements in IoT and Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality, machines are replacing human labour as they can accomplish both cognitive and manual processes without humans’ help.
With this in the background, the Indian manufacturing sector is steadily moving towards more automated and process-driven manufacturing. To expand at an exponential rate, Indian manufacturers must focus on creating cutting-edge products, seizing export prospects, focusing on productivity and efficiency through technology implementation, and targeting global volumes to obtain global cost competitiveness.
With this acceleration in disruptive and digital technologies, there is a possibility that fully automated ‘light-out environments’ or ‘Dark Factories’ will become a reality. Our Cover Story in this issue explains, how such factories operate without any human intervention and at the same time enable the growth of the industrial spectrum as manufacturing organisations explore the ‘factory of the future’.
Highlighting such advanced concepts, EM magazine will continue capturing and circulating relevant content, facilitating manufacturing enterprises, and identifying and applying technology upscaling strategies to transition their businesses forward towards an intuitive future.
