youth of tomorrow to develop those much-needed skills.

Artificial Intelligence (AI). It enables machines to think,

a few years from now. Prime minister Narendra Modi’s “Make in India” initiative places India in direct competition with China.
However, unless we implement Industry 4.0 concepts, India will never reach the level that China has set. Industrial companies
must take different approaches to leveraging the power of IIoT in these challenging times, and reforming the operating model
with IIoT solutions will prove to be very helpful.
