DigiIndustrie4.0 is the latest wave in Industrial Revolution. The key technology that runs the digi wave and its prodigy smart factories is IIoT. And the glue that binds the Cyber-Physical system couple is Data. Therefore, how best the challenges in data practices are resolved will determine how best digiwave will succeed. But data constraints are far more than anticipated, such as sensing, transmission, security, processing, concerns of IP rights, competency challenges, environmental implications, social catastrophes etc., that slows down this new revolution world over. Where lies the solution?

Leveraging technology to build the pillars for Industry 4.0 towards enabling a digitally integrated supply chain. We are at the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution. The most commonly used terms to describe this development, which is rapidly changing the industrial landscape, are Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, the Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems and digital transformation. The Industry 4.0 concept encompasses the digitalization of the horizontal and vertical value chain, innovation in products and services and the creation of new business models. The key business drivers of this transformation include improving customer experience, increasing speed to market and reducing costs. Industry 4.0 will change the entire manufacturing system, from the architecture and organizational structure to products, services and business models. The development and deployment of these solutions will be incremental and part of a long-term trend, but the opportunity is already here today. Companies that fail to educate themselves on these new technologies and invest in pilot projects will lose their competitive advantage and miss the opportunity to lead the transformation that is currently sweeping across the manufacturing industry. If you have not yet begun on this journey, you must start today.

Disrupting the QMS: As we know, plethora of technologies are disrupting literally every industry it’s equally disrupting our lives today. The capabilities of the past either must scale or will obviously get disrupted. Software development practices we use today, must evolve to cater to the emerging needs of new age development. Anand would provide a quick overview of key factors that are crucial to design modern QMS.
This session is a precursor to a workshop Anand will be conducting with BSPIN sometime soon for giving shape to modern QMS. Stay Tuned.
