Turbo-charging industrial transformation

Reincarnation – and that too in a huge and unprecedented way – is what happened when cars replaced horse-carts and when Model T became a common denominator for automotive industry. The impact that the industry saw in these historical turning points back then was felt very strongly again. It happened in the last few months when the industry was shaken and stirred in a disorienting way due to COVID-19. What transpired was a much-needed transformation that had been kept on shelf for a long time. And all that got done with a new clock altogether. This time the needle moved quickly, very quickly.

It was a big leap; and taken in a fast-forward mode – as some CIOs and CXOs shared during an interesting webinar on ‘Technology Vision for Industrial Equipment’ hosted by Dataquest in partnership with Accenture.

The panel that was moderated by Ibrahim Ahmad, Consulting Group Editor, CyberMedia unravelled some unexpected positive side-effects that the crisis brought for this industry’s technology deployment. The panellists discussed the challenges and paradigms that industrial equipment and automotive companies faced during the pandemic. It addressed how these enterprises are managing all those disrupted manufacturing and supply chains operations, as also how are they dealing with worker absence, travel limitations, customer outreach, collaboration, and more. The core discussion was on how technology helps to enable the transformation that these enterprises need to make.
