An overview of the current scenario of robotics in the Indian manufacturing sector and its adoption from international markets
  The robotics industry has come a long way since its inception in India. Here, experts from the industry share their opinion on the present scenario of Indian manufacturing sector vis-à-vis international markets in terms of robotics adoption and also about the solutions their company offers in this field.
Current scenarioCurrently India has the population of almost 30,000 robots, the automotive sector which would be very good edge over comparatively as the FDI happening is more now.
Mitsubishi Electric India’s spokesperson says, “In F&B and pharma sector, robots should be widely used for non-productive area like pick and place and packing whereas we are lagging behind drastically in terms of meeting the production demand, even we have the cutting edge technology in this sector.”
The Indian SMEs are currently going through a struggle between productivity and investment i.e. with respect to the money invested in manpower and manual operations used for manufacturing goods the productivity is not satisfactory.
Navneet Chaudhary, Head – Sales, Marketing & Administration, SK Robotics LLP observes, “The manpower should be used for more intelligent works that is not possible to obtain or achieve with the help of a machine. The acceptance for such technologies and revolution is not positively accepted in India wherein in the international markets automation is viewed as cherry on cake.”
