The Future of Manufacturing: Understanding Digital Factories


The Future of Manufacturing: Understanding Digital Factories

Date : 28 to 29 May, 2025   Location / Mode : Bengaluru


Last date for registration 21 May 2025
INTRODUCTION

Manufacturing industry is at its most exciting times with digital revolution. Industry has come a long way from 1st revolution of mechanization, 2nd revolution of Electrification, 3rd Revolution of Automation and Digitalization as the 4th Industrial revolution.

Many problems of the manufacturing industry which were not being solved very easily are being solved with the help of digital concepts. An important pre-requisite to achieve best results of digitalization is fairly good maturity levels of automation. When the degree of automation is better in the manufacturing process, better results can be achieved out of digitalization. Hence industrial automation and subsequently digitalization is gaining importance across industry sectors in the current situation. From simple Poke Yoke to fool proofing to complex Industry 4.0 system which is capable to self-decide and self-configure is possible by Digital Revolution.

This has increased the need of skilled man power, knowledge base, collective intelligence in the areas of industrial automation and digitalization. Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organizing a 2-day interactive programme on "The Future of Manufacturing: Understanding Digital Factories"
