Is India IIOT ready?
Some industries are ready but majority of the companies in India do not have the infrastructure to support IIOT. Their machines are very old, their IT system is very primitive and they do not have skilled work force to understand and effectively use IIOT solutions.
People think that IIOT is just machine to machine talking to improve reliability and consistency of the product. But what they don’t understand is that there is a need to change the entire business model to incorporate IIOT. If our mindset remains limited to this, then IIOT is not going to work. Also, one solution will not fit all companies. A big business would need a business model which is digital but a small business with limited customer and supplier need not require supply chain digitalization but a different digitalization process to suit its needs. This understanding is very important.
Digitization in process industry.
Automation was always there in the process industry but in a limited way. But now it is slowly increasing with advanced process control tools like simulation, advanced sensor systems etc.
