New Delhi, June 3: The manufacturing sector in India is shifting to increase automation, digital monitoring, and process-based production. Through this transition, Shankar Glasses India acknowledges how critical smart manufacturing will become in enhancing performance, quality, and scale.

In response to a growing focus on productivity, cost control, and quality assurance, manufacturers are increasingly leveraging “smart” manufacturing methods. Many manufacturers now use technologies like automation (robots), predictive maintenance  Lean production (minimizing waste), and digital workflows  to decrease their operational downtime, maximize their resources (people/machinery), and enhance their production capacity. As India pushes to become a global manufacturing destination, businesses that are investing in efficient operations and emerging technologies, as well as developing a well-skilled workforce, will have a competitive advantage going forward.

According to Dinesh Chandra Pandey, Founder of Shankar Fenestrations & Glasses,

“Traditional manufacturing methods have already evolved at a drastically fast pace. As a result, manufacturers are now focusing on smarter production systems, efficient operational models, and consistent high quality across all their products. To maintain their competitiveness and increase productivity in today’s rapidly changing industrial environment, manufacturers will need to move towards the use of automation and other technology as part of their manufacturing processes rather than as an afterthought.”

Smart manufacturing is transforming the entire industrial ecosystem of India due to a focus on innovations, optimizing processes, and developing long-term resilience within operations as priorities for sustainable growth in the manufacturing sector.
