Additive Manufacturing: A Work in Progress
An emerging technology with great promise, 3D printing or additive manufacturing has come
of age but is still a work in progress.
The fact that 3D printing, or additive manufacturing (AM) is an emerging technology with
disruptive potential is not in dispute. For a technology that was invented in the early 1980s, it
took nearly three decades to capture the popular imagination. Confined earlier to rapid
prototyping, development of fast printers and newer materials, including metal substrates and
above all, digital technologies facilitating collaborative design has brought it to centre stage
now. But a work in progress it essentially is, with several limitations preventing its blooming
into a disruptive force in manufacturing, yet many positives as evident from the responses to
this roundtable.


Emerging Trends in Instrumentation & Controls .Industry 4.0 and IIoT have engendered many new trends in instrumentation & controls with the availability of cloud based engineering tools, virtual instrumentation and fibre optic instrumentation..

Industry 4.0 & Digitalisation

The wave of digitalisation that is sweeping across the developed economies to maintain their edge has not left India untouched. In a flat world, technology barriers have crumbled bringing the benefits to all. However, implementation is the key and this is where the country needs to accelerate the pace.

Material Handling, Logistics & Warehousing

Material handling, together with logistics and warehousing provides the framework for an effective supply chain that forms a critical component of manufacturing activity. In plant material handling has been undergoing automation for years now and has presently become highly autonomous, and integrated with the supply chain.

Human Vs Robot

Robots are playing increasingly extensive role in manufacturing. Industrial robots automate highly dangerous tasks, working in harsh environment, handling huge payloads and feature sharp tooling, or any combination of these. Collaborative robots, on the other hand, are intended to work alongside humans.

Sensors & Controllers in Automation

From triggering of airbag deployment to monitoring of nuclear reactors, Sensors play an important role in industrial automation to make products intelligent and responsive. Sensors permit detection, measurement, dislocation and much else that occur in the industrial manufacture sites and Controllers facilitate the necessary actions.
