AI, Robotics & The Future Factory

IN TODAY’S FAST-PACED MANUFACTURING industry, the convergence of AI, robotics and advanced automation is reshaping the landscape. The future factory is no longer a distant concept but a tangible reality, where intelligent machines work hand in hand with human operators to optimise production processes, enhance and deliver unparalleled quality. However, to unlock the full potential of this technological revolution, a robust network infrastructure becomes the critical link that connects and harmonises these transformative technologies. In this article, we explore the realm of AI, robotics, and the future factory, highlighting the essential role of seamless integration and unleashing the full power of automation.

“The Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) is revolutionising how automation and robotics work by allowing seamless connectivity and data exchange between machines. With IoRT, robots can receive instructions, exchange data, and coordinate with other machines, resulting in efficient and flexible manufacturing processes,” said Sameer Mahapatra, Country Manager, India & SAARC, Aeris Communications. Sameer explains further, “IoRT's impact extends to health-care and transportation, driving safety and productivity. Sameer elaborates on the benefits, including enhanced efficiency, quality control, and operational performance. With rising production demands, seamless integration of robotics and automation optimises resource utilisation to meet growing needs effectively."


loRT plays a crucial role in optimizing supply chain management by gathering real-time data on inventory levels, production rates, and customer demands. This information can be used to automate inventory management, track shipments, and optimize logistics operations. Sameer Mahapatra, Country Manager, India & SAARC, Aeris Communications.
