I still remember walking into a hyperscale data center outside Bengaluru last year—the humming of thousands of servers, the blast of cold air, and the distinctive smell of electronics at work. What struck me most wasn’t the impressive technology, but a simple dashboard on the wall showing real-time power consumption. “We’re obsessed with that number,”...
I was standing on the factory floor of a major automotive plant outside Chennai last month when something remarkable happened. A robotic arm suddenly adjusted its movement pattern—without any human intervention. The plant manager noticed my surprise and explained, “That’s edge computing in action. The system detected a potential alignment issue and corrected itself in...
I remember the first time I saw a digital twin in action at a manufacturing plant in Bangalore. What looked like a simple 3D model on a screen was actually a living, breathing virtual replica of the entire assembly line, complete with real-time data flowing in from hundreds of sensors. The plant manager smiled at...
Three months ago, I was woken at 2 AM by an alert on my phone. A cooling system in our east wing was showing anomalous behavior—nothing critical yet, but our predictive system had detected a pattern that historically preceded failure. Instead of waiting for an actual outage, our automated systems had already begun migrating workloads...
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...
