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.
