Shifting Gears

WHILE INDIA CONTINUES TO REMAIN dependent on imports for more sophisticated technologies in machine tools, the availability of these advanced technologies only means that there is an opportunity for creation of value by vendors for their customers as well as end-users. Latest technologies have unleashed the power digitalisation in CNC machines, robotics for complex processes and multiaxis machining for faster, speedier and smarter processing of machine parts with more robust machine tools. Additive manufacturing is the latest technological advance that is making waves. India definitely remains a good market for these technologies.

NEW VISTAS

In today’s world of manufacturing, all OEMs and their supply chains are undergoing major changes as companies embrace digitisation of their shop floors by continually adapting innovative technologies to optimise their operations, improve efficiency, remain competitive, enhance profitability and generate more value for their customers. This is evident within fastpaced manufacturing industries such as automotive, transportation and consumer goods. The latest entrants to embrace digital transformation are the aerospace and oil & gas industries.
