A factory of the future will run on Big Data being used intelligently to improve decision making and planning. Cloud computing will allow for anything to be controlled, recorded or reported in real-time. With humans collaboratively working together with robots along with all the Big Data that will be available, factories will be able to optimise production, reduce wastage and improve product consistency and quality.
Are we ready for this paradigm shift? If yes, what would be the short-term and long-term strategies to maximise the outcome? If not, what are the immediate next steps to be a part of this change? We, at A&D India, have been analysing and deliberating on these questions, and trying to provide appropriate information in this area to our readers, through various features in the magazine.
Those who regularly read A&D India or browse through our website
