Industry 4.0 or "Smart Manufacturing" is fast becoming an inevitable evolutionary step for "future compatibility" for any Manufacturing Facility globally. Most of the Indian Industry is presently struggling to figure out how to get started into this "Digitalization" drive economically, and how to retrofit / integrate existing machines with Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 is perceived as an expensive proposition to implement and this has caused many industries to step aside from implementing this new methodology.To illustrate, develop confidence and show the way forward, IMTMA has now an I4.0 facility comprising of common manufacturing CNC Machines and Automation, where most aspects can be practically demonstrated. The concepts shown here could be readily scaled up by Industry.
To extend the benefits of experience and competency in Industry 4.0; Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organising a 5 day online training on "Implementing Industry 4.0 in Indian Context"

This training will be delivered by Industry Experts from IMTMA, Pepperl+Fuchs, Maxbyte Technologies, AMT and Robert Bosch Engineering Solutions.
