Merit-based industry collaborations and AI integration necessary for growth

RM Controls’ approach is to build strong, direct relationships with clients rather than relying on intermediaries. This has helped it achieve remarkable success, with word-of-mouth advertising allowing it to grow a ₹70-crore turnover without a traditional sales force.

The power industry should focus on merit-based growth, where manufacturers prioritise collaboration over competition.

Instead of complicating the market for survival, the goal should be to unite and deliver better products collectively.

If manufacturers possess strong networks, expertise, and quality, they should aim to merge their strengths and address weaknesses in production.

Financial concerns should not overshadow the commitment to quality and value-added products.

Al, IoT integration in the control panel industry

AI integration in the electrical panel industry can play a significant role in improving quality control. By utilising advanced AI scanning, we can enhance the accuracy of identifying panel issues.

Preloaded data can allow the AI to scan the entire panel, detect errors, and correct them, ensuring higher precision in manufacturing. This technology can be extended to measuring instruments, such as voltmeters and meters, to improve accuracy and contribute to better protection relays. Al's biggest advantage lies in scanning for loose connections, a major safety risk in electrical systems. By implementing thermography on hardware, AI can detect temperature anomalies, prevent potential hazards like equipment burning or degradation, and improve electrical protection.
