Why India’s ‘Factory of the Future’ will be built on data, not algorithms
Walk into almost any manufacturing conference today and you’ll hear the same pitch: smart cameras on the line, predictive maintenance dashboards, talk of autonomous factories just around the corner. Yet according to Rajat Srivastava, Founder, CEO and CPO of Df-OS, most of this activity sits on a foundation that isn’t ready to bear its weight — trusted, connected operational data.
