Beyond Green Buildings – The Next Frontier of Sustainable Infrastructure Through Intelligent Monitoring. Last month, I toured Singapore’s Punggol Digital District where buildings don’t just stand, they think. A central nervous system of 87,000 sensors monitors everything from occupancy patterns to microclimatic shifts. When afternoon heat intensified unexpectedly, I watched as the façade’s electrochromic glass...
Automation vs Augmentation – How AI is Transforming Manufacturing Workforces
Last week, I visited a bearing manufacturing plant outside Pune where two striking scenes unfolded side by side. In one section, robotic arms performed precision welding with superhuman consistency, no humans in sight. In the adjacent bay, technicians wearing AR headsets worked alongside collaborative robots, their movements synchronized in a choreographed dance of production. Same...
Agentic AI in Manufacturing – Moving Beyond Automation to Autonomous Decision-Making
Agentic AI in Manufacturing – Moving Beyond Automation to Autonomous Decision-Making. For decades, automation has defined the modern manufacturing landscape, robots assembling cars, sensors managing conveyor belts, and software optimizing production schedules. While automation brought efficiency, consistency, and cost savings, it has largely been reactive and rule based. Enter the next evolution: Agentic AI, a...
