EM - Efficient Manufacturing - September 2022

I denne utgaven

While the global industrial landscape is transitioning towards electrification, the Indian industry is remarkably contributing to this with advanced digital tools being used in its operations. This is enabling the Indian manufacturing sector to rise to prominence globally. This is because India is positioning itself as a creditable supplier of high-quality goods and a reliable business partner for international organisations.
Accelerating the overall development and deployment of latest practices in the industry dynamics is the automotive industry that is having a significant role to play. According to reports, the automotive industry has recorded a phenomenal 15.5% growth in FY2022.
Therefore, migrating to e-mobility is important. The excitement to shift to e-mobility is evident from the fact that 400+ registered EV manufacturers in India are working on various manufacturing e-vehicles. Therefore, our industry focus features industry stalwarts sharing their thoughts on helping India achieve 30% EVs by 2030.
On the other hand, our Cover Story reflects industry viewpoints on the recent service fee hike from Google. After the recent price revision for Google Workspace offerings, several Indian MSMEs have raised concerns over increased costs. One of the companies wrote an open letter to Google India’s senior management expressing discomfort over such pricing policies that will cost Indian MSMEs additional investments every year. Team EM spoke to industry speakers to understand their views on the same.
Spotlighting such views, EM will continue capturing and circulating relevant content, facilitating manufacturing enterprises and identifying & applying technology upscaling strategies to transition their business forward towards an intuitive future.
