Technologies Shaping the Future of Industrial Automation in India

Abstract: Over the past years, automation gets involved in various industrial operations and in decision making too. Some industries take steps to implement full automation over the manufacturing, process and control plants. This paper aims to present the various emerging technologies are adopting and using for the industrial automation. Nowadays, engineering fields are equipped with advanced sensors, machine vision, robotic platform and innovative instruments for fully automated systems. According to Industrial Trade Administration (ITA) reported that the annual global automation expenditure is expected to increase to over $300 billion by 2020. Furthermore, the spend is expected to increase to over $600 billion in the coming years as automation systems become more interconnected within process operations. This paper explores the availability and presence of technology globally in various sectors Keywords: Industrial Automation, IoT, Robotic Platform, Multi touch technology, Virtualization.
