Industry Edge: Industrial Automation Market in India is booming

A&D - Automation and Digitisation present to you the April - May Issue.

With India at the cusp of manufacturing excellence, many industrial giants have been talking about meeting complex customer demands and upskilling the workforce, while considering the cost-effective market dynamics. Businesses in India, until a few years ago, were not embracing advanced technologies like AI or Industry 4.0. Multiple factors, such as providing the need for personalised learning, enhancing IT infrastructure resiliency, and  the dire need for enhanced customer experience, led to the rapid adoption of advanced breakthroughs in automating operations.
Today, Industry 4.0 and automation are currently taking shape. Thanks to technologies such as AI, 5G, advanced automation, advanced sensing, and many others. Engineering systems, automated manufacturing, and industrial automation also play a key role here. In addition, effective data strategy and data readiness are critical for Indian businesses to achieve enterprise intelligence by adopting Artificial Intelligence. New technologies are forcing data centre providers to adopt innovative methods to increase efficiency, scalability, and reduce redundancy.
When it comes to technological advancements, semiconductors, also known as integrated circuits (ICs) or microchips, certainly play an integral role, as they not only craft the existence of electronic devices but also enhance the production power while minimising their price. Our Cover Story explains the role of semiconductors in the Indian market and signifies how vital they are for sustaining state-of-the-art technology. Considering such developments, A&D India will continue capturing and circulating the right information, facilitating manufacturing enterprises, and identifying and applying new technology adoption strategies to move their businesses forward towards a brighter future.

The demand for digitally revolutionising the industry has been growing
manifold over the past few years. This not only scales the business development of an organisation, but also creates a future-ready landscape.
According to recent reports, the smart manufacturing market is expected to
expand at a CAGR of 15.75% during the 2018-2023 period. This certainly
provides multiple opportunities with digital practices as it has been key in
responding to the disruption of business ecosystems brought on by the pandemic.
Businesses with digitalisation were able to cope up to this sudden change.
Over the years, manufacturers have started investments in automation,
and we have witnessed significant increase in the automation businesses. To
keep up, it is vital that an automated factory has a better skilled workforce that understands technology & processes utilised to optimise production.
On the other hand, data visualisation has become a megatrend as it
provides an overview, highlights structure, and reveals correlations. Also,
automated material handling systems are beneficial as it enables better time
management and minimal contamination of the environment.
Focussing on the SME sector, the Cover Story in this issue talks about how
smart manufacturing practices provides an edge to the SME industry by
enabling tailor-made services and products using digital platforms. Industrial
Internet of Things will, therefore, help in reshaping the workforce for faster
and better business decisions.
Considering such developments, A&D will continue capturing and
circulating the right information, facilitating manufacturing enterprises,
identify and apply new technology adoption strategies to move their business forward towards a brighter future.

A&D India is a leading trade magazine in India, on Industrial Automation and Digitisation, from Publish Industry India Pvt Ltd, the Indian subsidiary of Publish Industry Verlag GmbH, Germany. A&D India provides a comprehensive coverage on current technological and market trends, interesting applications, new products and solutions, as well as success stories in the automation and digitisation field. Its readers are spread across Electrical & Electronics, Pharma & Chemical, Food & Beverage, Power & Energy, Oil & Gas, Automotive, Machine Tools, Steel & Mining sectors....making it the most sought after magazine in this sector.

A&D India - the trade magazine on industrial automation is the only industrial magazine in India that offers a three-dimensional perspective on technology, market and management aspects of industrial automation.

What will 2022 be all about? Will exhibitions and conferences open up? Will the industry meet more often than it has in the last two years? The answer to these questions may be yes, but let’s get real. We don’t really know for sure. A new variant shows up every now and then and there’s still a very slight scepticism about visiting live trade shows & manufacturing events. But what many industry experts, including a spokesperson at our recently held Manufacturing Business Forum 2022, have said is that the industry is headed for growth and there is hope. And that is more than we all can ask for right now. 
It will be stating an obvious fact that the COVID-19 pandemic turned our lives upside down, but again, it fast-tracked the pace of automation and Industry 4.0 within the industry – again, a very well-known fact. So, two years into the pandemic, where will automation take us? What have we learnt from the recovery? What are the trends that will shape Industry 4.0 adoption? And what are the challenges ahead? Flip a few pages ahead to our Cover Story and find out. 
Another significant event we have focused on this month’s issue is the financial budget of 2022. We have turned our attention to one very specific technology that was also emphasised at this year’s budget: Artificial Intelligence. For our Viewpoint section, we interacted with a couple of AI companies & experts to get their insights on what the Budget 2022 might have in store in context of AI.
Besides that, we bring you our focus topics on how automation & digitisation have influenced pharmaceutical packaging, how variable speed drives (VSDs)  and variable frequency drives (VFDs) are sure shot ways to optimise the energy consumption of conditioned atmosphere & refrigeration process and an interesting case study that elaborates on how a start-up, Axosuits, leveraged on engineering tool - Solid Edge to build an exoskeleton, aka exo-suits for industrial markets.
