Lately, the world is witnessing a lot of new trends and technologies in every sector, and our ecosystem is transforming at a fast pace. Each day, we see new innovations in technology which will help you to save time and money. Development is a never-ending process and one such technology which is collecting a lot of attention these days is Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality.   What is VR & AR? Augmented reality (AR) is a direct or indirect live view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are "augmented" by computer-generated perceptual information. Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated scenario that simulates a realistic experience. The immersive environment can be like the real world to create a lifelike experience grounded in reality or sci-fi.

Shaping the future through Smart Factory

We are now on the brink of a massive paradigm shift in the manufacturing industry, where the real world and the digital world will converge. The diminishing boundaries have given birth to factories that are smart, and IT driven. Though the manufacturing sector in India has been slow to react to disruptive technologies, the digital transformation has been growing at a rapid speed.  Making smart factories is akin to taking a giant leap from the traditional automation to a digitally connected and integrated system. Through a smart factory, one can use the real-time data from the connected systems and utilize them for managing the constant change and demand. The outcome can be a more effective and spry system with very less downtime, and a more remarkable capacity to anticipate and acclimatize to changes in the facility or more extensive operation, perhaps prompting better positioning in the dynamic commercial center. Below are the five key characteristics of a smart factory
