India’s Electronics System Design & Manufacturing (ESDM) is growing at a rapid scale, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 32.5 percent from FY22 to FY27 as opposed to 22.2 percent CAGR recorded from FY17 to FY22, as per a report by Niveshaay, a SEBI based research body. But amid these huge growth potentials, there are a couple of grave challenges such as high…

The global electronics market both industrial and IT hardware, is growing at a rapid scale .The government in various countries has framed new strategies and unleashed incentive schemes to grow the ecosystem so that they become self-reliant and less dependent on China. For instance, Europe has a huge automotive manufacturing sector, which is spiking the demand for…

US is slowly gearing up to lead the semiconductor industry, but how will Europe survive when it consumes 20 percent of the international chip supply, but produces only nine percent

For a very long time, semiconductors have played an important role in modern technology, be it powering smartphones, computers, artificial intelligence,…

Manufacturers these days are not new to automation. Even since the first steam-powered engine was invented, the manufacturing industry has been highly focused on offering top-notch products, and most importantly, through automating processes, reduced operating expenses, and increased quality for more than a decade. Same as the automation, manufacturers have now…

Industries have seen an array of growth, which has often come from industrial robotics and automation. What makes factories extremely cumbersome, extremely difficult. At the same time, the adoption of automation itself is a tedious task. Now that’s where Cobots come into picture. It is a technology under the bracket of collaborative automation called Collaborative…

When COVID-19 hit the market in the first half of 2020, headlines all over the world surfaced that vehicle demand decreased drastically. But, within a year, there is another concern based on the supply side. Although the demand suddenly escalated globally, a massive slump of automotive semiconductor production had forced the OEMs to halt the manufacturing units.…

During the first quarter of this year, warnings have been issued in terms of heatwaves that posed a serious threat to the country’s electricity generation. According to a report by S&P Global, India’s electricity demand increased by 8.7 percent in 2022, and on the other hand, coal generation increased by 8.7 percent causing massive emissions. Now, speaking of the…

Around ten years back, there was a huge challenge in India in the ESDM and semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem mostly due to lack of proper policies by the government, concentration in the software ecosystem, and most importantly, there is no proper education about the importance of the ecosystem. Now, the government has undertaken various initiatives and unleashed…

Over the past few years, India has escalated its in-house production of electronic products, but in spite of that growth, import of these items, mostly components, continued at the same volume. The picture shows that there are various impediments in the sector, which still needs to be addressed like the companies must manufacture finished goods in large quantities…

The electric vehicle ecosystem has been growing in India tremendously over the past few years owing to various schemes and initiatives unleashed by the government. But, in our country, charging infrastructure is not growing upto the expectations. The lack of convenient and wide range of charging networks makes it very intricate for EV owners, especially for those…

As the decision makers and international industries are facing numerous hurdles, there is a need of the hour to transform manufacturing with the assistance of the most sophisticated technologies. The industries need to revamp and restructure their industrial assets (software or hardware) and obviously control systems. The global management consulting firm McKinsey…

EVs are expensive compared to ICE vehicles because of the battery cost. The EV battery cost makes up 60% of the total EV price. Therefore, to compensate for the high price of EVs, the automakers add features and functionalities to present them as differentiating factors to the buyers. These features generally aim to provide safety and convenience to the driver. If…
