Siemens India is a technology powerhouse that has stood for engineering excellence, innovation, quality and reliability. The company focuses on the areas of electrification, automation and digitalization. Siemens is also designing a digital learning platform for students to prepare themselves to bridge the gap between industry and academia, said Dora Smith, Global Director, Academic Partner Program of PLM, speaking at the SIEMENS Corporate Office Gurgaon. There is some way to go until Industry 4.0 becomes reality, according to Smith. A decisive role is played in the company by innovative industrial software which allows the integration of product development and production, and consequently paves the way for the holistic optimization of product development and production processes. "The increasing penetration of IT and the growing integration of all industrial technologies are taking place in evolutionary steps from today's perspective. However, looking back, the completely IT-based interaction between human being, product and machine could prove to be a real industrial revolution", Smith said. |
