The manufacturing industry in India is reimaging its work place and entire ecosystem with computing inside.  The IIoT is the next wave of innovation and in India; IIoT will enable transformation of nearly all industries.Rajarshi Datta, Sales Director, Honeywell Process Solutions (India)
  India’s manufacturing sector is on a high growth trajectory. Prime minister launched the ‘Make in India’ program to place India on the world map as a manufacturing hub and give global recognition to the Indian economy. The campaign, has made an impact on the investment climate of the country, the growth in foreign direct investment (FDI) has been significant after the launch of ‘Make in India’ initiatives.
In an exclusive interaction with OEM Update, Rajarshi Datta, Sales Director of Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS), India talks about the ‘Make in India’ initiative and the direction that India’s manufacturing sector is heading towards. In his conversation, he discusses the emerging trends in automation technologies; the challenges before the sector and the future of industrial automation.
Indian manufacturing sector has lot of potentialIndia’s manufacturing sector has the potential to touch $ 1 trillion by 2025. If India is to achieve its goals of increasing manufacturing output to 25 per cent of GDP and create up to 90 million domestic jobs by 2025, India will have to go further and drive innovation in the field of industrial automation. To accelerate efficiency and productivity, manufacturers will need to invest in energy efficient technologies and automation solutions and processes.
There is strong potential in the Indian industrial automation market especially in industries like oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical industries which are expected to see good growth. HPS, one of the pioneers in automation control is focused on utilising these trends to deliver tangible results for customers like transforming data into meaningful information, virtualisation, remote collaboration, wireless connectivity as well as cyber security.
Industrial Internet is the next industrial revolution Changing demographics, increasing connectivity, and the need for real-time insights are transforming the process and discrete manufacturing industries. Industrial Internet is the next industrial revolution for the 21st century. In this industrial system all processes such as product design, manufacturing, services and refurbishment are completely integrated and will exchange information in real time. This revolution will transform the manufacturing processes in sync with the speed of change in customer needs – which implies, making the production process flexible without taking excess time.
The manufacturing industry in India is reimaging its work place and entire ecosystem with computing inside.  The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the next wave of innovation and in India; IIoT will enable transformation of nearly all industries. A connected enterprise significantly enhances decision making, increases security and productivity as well as improves overall collaboration across the enterprise by providing the right information at the right time, to help optimise operations. As India progresses in its pursuit to become one of the preferred manufacturing destinations, current practices have to make way for adoption of ‘everything smart’.
