Скачать или смотреть Amaresh Chakrabarti: An Overview of Smart Manufacturing and its Implications for Innovation & Growth

Abstract:
Industry 4.0 or the fourth industrial revolution, often also called Smart Manufacturing, is a major disruptive influence on how the global economy would be shaped for this century. This is important for India, especially its manufacturing sector, as rapid transformation of the sector is needed for aligning itself with the global movement, and turning the threats into opportunities. This talk will provide an overview of the major concepts and technologies in smart manufacturing. It will then discuss its implications for the Indian economy, and how innovation can play a significant role in growth of the economy. It will discuss the need for innovation in this area, and provide examples of innovations that are in the process of supporting this transformation. The talk will also provide a glimpse of the development of an indigenous smart factory at IISc, which will be used for supporting awareness, training, R&D and innovation.
