foreword Time 2 Act I want to share a story my friend told me recently. Once upon a time, Jamshedji Nusserwanji Tata was travelling by ship to Germany with sacks of soil from various part of India to test if iron can be extracted. He had the samples collected from various areas. During the journey, J N Tata learnt that Shri Swami Vivekananda was on board the same ship and hence decided to pay a visit to the great saint. Swamiji knew about the respected industrialist and during their conversation J N Tata explained his mission. Hearing the initiative of J N Tata, Swamiji asked, “Well, even if these sacks contain iron-rich soil, do you honestly believe that the Germans will tell you the truth? The soil is probably rich in Iron-ore but the sad truth is all you will get from your enquiries across Europe is Disbelief and Pessimistic reactions as Europeans may not like to see steel-rich economically string India.” Needless to say, having interacted with several Europeans, J N Tata knew this might be true. Swami Vivekananda continued, “Why don’t you start an excellent/ up-to-date Research Facility in India and train talented youngsters to identify soil? It may seem like a burdensome expenditure right now, but in the long run it will save you many trips to Europe and can have the assurance of knowing the truth quickly- rather than taking multiple opinions due to doubt”. As he could clearly sense J N Tata’s mood was in acquiescence he further elaborated, “Seek an audience with the Maharaja of Mysore he will definitely help you in every way he can. He has been generous enough to sponsor my own trip to Chicago to attend the Parliament of Religions”. As soon as he returned to India, J N Tata headed straight for Mysore. And indeed His Highness Sir Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV did not disappoint him. The Maharaja of Mysore granted 370 acres of land for the setting up of the Research Facility and it was named THE INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE. Soil Mechanics and Metallurgy were the first departments to be set-up. It was the worldly knowledge and the vision of young Swami Vivekananda that inspired the legendary J N Tata to create a change in the history of our country. Today India is talking about “Make in India”! Is it just a slogan campaign or a vision which should convert into a reality? In 2014, India was ranked globally 140th amongst the 189 economies for ease of doing business. And today, in 2015 we are 2 points down to 142! If a realistic approach can be made by central and state governments, this rank can be bettered within a short time. This is for inviting new foreign investments! What about our running SME Entrepreneurs? Are they given the right atmosphere to improve productivity or managing the sales tax audits which are happening currently for 2007-08 financial year? During an interaction with Mr. Manfred Maier, Managing Director & COO of Heller, he said, “The growth in the world is driven by the people who want to eat every moment. India has a huge population that is growing; and the chain of growth is here whether it is coming in five or ten years.” Now, are we waiting it to happen in its due course of work towards it? We as a country, always waited for things to happen, but never worked together to achieve and ‘make it happen’. India can only grow when its people – politicians, bureaucrats, industrialists, and workforce, live towards its developments as a team! Let start today, beginning with us!

BMC’s Innovation on High Voltage Condition Monitoring
I N N O VAT I O N
Innovation on criteria for condition monitoring is call of the day. One of BMCs customer required no acoustic discharge from hollow type CTs fitted in distribution panel boards used in MV system. The discharge should be 0 DB at system voltage. BMC Team pro actively got involved in achieving “Zero discharge” and could achieve the desired result after rigorous R&D activity.
Solution: Homogeneous equi -potential surface was created by applying special grade conducting varnish with a band of semi conductive varnish over lapping at the edge of conductive layer. The application methodology was devised after a series of trials. The equi – potential layer was finally connected to the Bus Bar running through the CT. Validation: Higher system voltage was applied to the running bus and
discharge level was monitored by Ultra Probe 15000 touch and the result was found to be “Zero DB”. This condition will definitely add up to the product life as this would minimize the discharge that normally occurs when the system is charged, leading to insulation failure in the long run.

With the advent of Smart Grid and green energy concepts, our existing substations need a lot of technology up gradation. This technology of “Zero discharge” will definitely be a useful value addition in achieving the modern concepts. This innovation will definitely add up to the product’s life as this innovation almost eliminates the discharges which takes place in a high voltage system in charged condition.

Energy Security for India With the modernization of technology, India has emerged as a super economic power in the world. But with this growth, we are neglecting the fact that ‘Modern technology owes ecology an apology’. Have we ever thought that what would happen when these conventional fuels which are being used in the manufacturing of technologies come to an end? We all know that prevention is better than cure. So, why not say ‘No’ to the conventional fuels and switch to renewable energies where India excels. In this workpiece, we are trying to find out how to make India secure with energy generation and what is the best renewable energy to solve the costeffective and long-term issues.
Debashri Das debashri@martinfotech.in
It is a universal truth that energy is one of the leading factors that drives the economic development and the growth of an individual. Since the last few decades, energy consumption in India is rising rapidly leading to an increase in its demand due to population explosion. Augmentation of the resources and soaring supply of energy fail to keep pace with the growing demand and hence India is confronting serious shortages of energy. As a result, despite making considerable development towards the expansion of its power infrastructure, it still has to rely on imports to fulfill the energy requirement. Present Power Demand in India The advancement in the standard of living of the individuals, industrialization in the emerging economies as well as growing population

www.martupdate.com
is giving rise to the growing demand of energy supply in the near future. The limitlessness of fossil fuels and the environmental degradation resulted from their extensive use firmly point out the need of using eco-friendly renewable energy sources to steer the worldwide energy supply on the way towards sustainability. As per the reports presented by Ministry of Power:
has been noticed in the power sector in India. Expected power demand for the success of ‘Make in India’
Nuclear-4.14%
Indigenization plays a very important role in boosting the economy of the country by avoiding the excess cost involved in export. The Indian Government has laid down a potential addition goal of 30GW to make ‘Make in India’ a success. If India could achieve the target set by the government, then it will be able to take the total potential of renewable energy to approximately 55GW by the end of the year 2017. This estimated generated power is inclusive of solar power of 10GW, wind power of 15GW, small hydro power of 2.1GW and biomass power of 2.9GW.
Renewable energies – 7.7%
Power requirement in 2020
Therefore, 6.4% overall growth
The power consumption of
The total power generation in India has grown from 912.057BU in the year 2012-2013 to as much as 967.150BU during 2013-2014. The performance given by each type of power plant is given below: Hydro – 18.58% Thermal- 4.18%
India per capita is anticipated to rise to approximately 841kWh in the year 2020, doing business of only 1 quarter of the average contributed globally. According to a report presented in 2013, India occupies third rank in power in electricity production. Despite the pretty large size of primary marketable energy reserves, their abundance in terms of per capita income is restrained because of the huge population of the nation. The soaring pace of economic development is likely to be tagged along by a growing per capita income and changes in the way of living. This will as well have an adverse effect on the demand of power supply. Considering the rising wakefulness in regard to the environmental conservation and protection, the upcoming growth in power sector must think about such concerns to develop in a way which is ecofriendly.
February 2015
Augmentation of the resources and soaring supply of energy fail to keep pace with the growing demand and hence India is confronting serious shortages of energy. As a result, despite making considerable development towards the expansion of its power infrastructure, it still has to rely on imports to fulfill the energy requirement.
If India fails to meet the expected power requirement by 2020, then the country would face serious shortages in manufacturing the products too especially where electricity is involved. As a result, the rank which India occupies at present in the global manufacturing map will also get lowered. Therefore, we should find out the hurdles coming in the path of achieving the objective of power requirement and try to fix it right now. Metering of free power to farmers Providing free powers to farmers has become the easiest way to get votes during the election. Currently, Karnataka has given assurance to the farmers to provide them free power up to 10 power horse capacity. Providing them free power is a great decision taken by the government but at the same time it should also draw a line as to how much electricity should be given to them. If the growth rate in the agricultural area is not keeping pace with the developments
February 2015
of the Indian industries, then it would become very difficult to maintain the overall economic development. We are aware of the fact that electricity plays a big role in the production cost involved in manufacturing the farming equipment, there is a necessity to assure costeffective, steady and timely power supply to the agriculture sector without endangering industrial advancement. Power generation from available renewable energies in India in 2014 A study on net installed capacity of renewable energies available in India was presented on 31st December, 2014 which shows the following:
power generation from the available alternative energies is 30,883.74 MW. The country has projected a target of getting net renewable source of energy installed capacity of 41,400 MW by the year 2017 and to 72,400 MW by the end of the year 2022. In order to achieve this goal, India will need to add installed power capacity from renewable energy of 40130.39MW. To attain the aim of installed potentiality for renewable energy of 72,000 MW of India require to invest nearly US$ 46.22 billion. As per the given reports, the peak time deficit in the power sector of India is 3.3%.
Solar Power: 3062.68 MW
How this power deficit affects?
Wind Power: 22,465.03 MW
The power deficit is affecting the production in turn. As in case of agricultural production, if there is power shortfall, it would automatically affect the agricultural production. In industries which deals with manufacturing where electricity plays a big role, due to the shortage of electricity
Biomass Power: 1365.20 MW Hydro Power: 3990.83 MW The above data gives us a clear idea about the quantity of power generated from the various renewable energies in India. Hence the total
and power cuts, there will be defect in manufacturing as well as will result in lowering the quantity of the production too. The industries and the commercial sectors heavily depend on the energy generated from the fossil fuels, hence, these sectors will suffer a lot if we remain ignorant towards overcoming this issue of power deficit. How to overcome the power deficit? To attain sustainability in the quality and quantity of power generation is quite difficult without tariffs revisions. The old age formula of CEA and nearly everyone throughout the country to calculate the energy deficit gives rise to a lot of questions when it shows a power deficit of 3-4% per month. It’s the high time to raise the issue and seek opinions from professionals of power sector on how such existing formulas can be reformed to fix the problem of power deficit. Hiding these issues under the carpet is not going to help us. The demand

steered energy sector will increase the investments from the private sector. Moreover, renewable energies will be the best avenue for investment because above 75% of renewable energies are being generated by the owners of the private businesses. Some forms of alternative energies like solar and wind energy have good potential to meet the power demand with clean generation of power while complying with the environmental obligations. As China has already sketched her plan regarding the generation and distribution of power supply for the next 20 years, we also have to chalk out a plan and effectively imply it to avoid its crisis in the long run. We definitely can use generators and inverters to get over the hanging problem of power shortage, but it involves a huge costs. Therefore, it is better to switch to the alternate energies as they will give full support in the long run
though may be costly initially. Let’s have a look. Costs involved in power generation from renewable energies A wind power plant capable of generating 50MW of energy can give power at the cost of 5cents per KW hour, when it is owned by a person. But when the same power plant is owned by the IOUs, the wind power cost lowered to 3.5cents per KW hour. The expenses involved in a hydroelectric power station is almost immune to the huge cost involved in using fossil fuels like natural gas, oil or coal without imports. The average expenditure of power generation from a hydroelectric station above10MW is 3 to 5 U.S. cents per kilowatt-hour. The MP Himgiri Energy Ventures tender brought the cost of generating solar energy closer to that of thermal energy. That means at only Rs 6.5, solar power is just 14% more than thermal power.
National Solar Mission set the tariff from the year 2013-2017at only Rs 5.5 per unit, with some government support especially financially for ‘viability gap funding’. Time needed for setting up of the power plants The time required to establish a wind power plant is quite short as compared to the time span needed for setting up a thermal power plant using conventional energies like nuclear energy and coal. But its main disadvantage is it demands a lot of space and it is not reliable because of the changing wind patterns. Hydroelectric stations need more time for their set up as the environmental clearances becomes the major roadblock there. Whereas setting up of a 5MW solar power plant can be completed in 3 months maximum. Hence by comparing, we can easily find out that which requires minimal time and that is solar power plant. As the life of the plant is estimated
for approximately 25years, the income the individual will receive after getting the ROI in nearly 6 years will be a profit for him. Moreover, unlike thermal power plant it does not depend on the coal for generating electricity erasing the need and huge cost involved in import of coal from abroad countries. Merits of using solar energy • It is a fit and forget system where no maintenance is required. • Unlike hydroelectric power stations and wind power stations, it is not stick to a particular location and can be set up at any place. • It is modular and highly scalable in nature. Therefore, it can bear the installation from hundred watts to mega watts. • Decentralized systems of power assure the minimal losses of ATC. The government should realize that PV Solar is not dangerous and hence
A wind power plant capable of generating 50MW of energy can give power at the cost of 5cents per KW hour, when it is owned by a person. But when the same power plant is owned by the IOUs, the wind power cost lowered to 3.5cents per KW hour.
If India fails to meet the expected power requirement by 2020, then the country would face serious shortages in manufacturing as a result, the rank which India occupies at present in the global manufacturing map will also get lowered.

can be set up near houses too for using it for decentralized power generation. Govt. responsibilities for making effective use of solar energy The companies dealt with solar power alleged that the ministries in the procurement of power from renewable sources showed a lackadaisical behavior when they tried to submit a letter in June, 2014. Rahul Gupta, the Director of Ray Power Experts commented on the problems which the power companies are facing because of the lowering of business percentage of REC. As a result, the investors of the solar energy are not getting back the expected amount creating a big problem to pay back the loans. If the government does not take serious steps to mend the present situation, then the investors will not come forward to invest in the solar power sector which ultimately will badly act upon the growth of the infrastructure too. Also, the increasing tariffs may draw the line for the expansion of solar power in India. So, the government should take the following steps to encourage solar energy growth in India: • Promote off-grid usage of solar energy to meet the objectives of Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission. • Address the needs of the market by encouraging innovations. • Create awareness among the mass to use solar energy and give support to the potential receivers within the outline of border line conditions and in a bendable demand driven approach.
February 2015
• Craft an exemplar shift required for commoditization of off-grid applications of decentralized solar thermal. • Investigate the delays in setting up the solar projects and control the timeline amplifications. • Should go on with its policy to permission familial content in the installations of solar power plants. But to make it effective, the govt. should also make available economical loans—just like the US government which provide cheap loans through its EXIM Bank. Conclusion As India is closely located near the equator, it possesses huge solar potential. Concerning the coming years, and this may sound like a jibe, the future of solar energy rather is bright. If say the peak time shortfall is supplemented by Solar renewable, then there will be reduction in the costs involved in import of fossil fuels. Setting up of the solar plants will further enable us to minimize the heavy costs involved in other irrigational means. As a result, it will increase the food production and will also increase the availability of food supply and hence effects the inflation. The numerable solar power plants that are planned to be set up very soon points out the fact that people will start to see what a precious resource solar energy is. Also, with the establishment of more solar power plants, the technology will get better and cheaper making more people affording to invest in them and to help to bridge the gap between supply and demand.

Indian Market moving towards high-end technology! A major boost to Wires & Cables industry Cables are the crucial infrastructure backbone of an economy of any country. The wire and cable industry has moved from being a small industry 20 years back to a very large industry over the last decade. Although it is a volume-driven product, it has a lot of quality, price and technical particulars.
Shanker Tekwani spectrum_cables@hotmail.com
Wires and cables are one of the most essential tools for providing power to industry, illuminating houses, electrical and electronic plants, hospitals and it powers each and every need of our lives. Wires & cables are genuine life line of world. Over a period of time, the industry has moved from the unorganized to the organized sector. However, majority part of small and medium scale industry is still in the unorganized sector. Despite having significance of technical specifications in determining the quality of wire and cable, regional and local players play a significant role where demand of locally made
products remains upbeat. Wire and cable industry comprises 40% of the entire electrical industry, and it is growing at very fast pace. The government’s emphasis on the power sector reforms, developing new industries, up-gradation and nurturing of small, medium, large industries and infrastructure will further boost growth tremendously in coming years. User industries of wire and cable include building and construction, electronics and machinery manufacturing. The Indian market is moving forward from basic infrastructure to high-end technological developments. India’s domestic market
consumption in itself presents tremendous opportunities. The manufacturers are beginning to be interested in good quality machinery and equipment and demand for high technical standards. The wire and cable industry will eventually focus on supplying cables for specific applications pertaining to the industry needs. India has a lot of potential in the mining, power, oil and gas, metro railways, cement industry, steel industry and other sectors. Industry is focusing on different kinds of cables like extra high voltage cables, elastomeric cables, instrumentation cables etc are used for special applications such as signal transmission in mining, oil sector, shipbuilding,
chemical crane, elevator, solar power plants, to harness power for new generation motor vehicles, windmill solutions, security systems and other types of data cables. Due to upward swing in cable industry, this field requires professionals to be technocommercially knowledgeable. Ideally, electrical, mechanical engineers for manufacturing and maintenance, managers with operations knowledge for implementation of world class manufacturing techniques, MBAs with knowledge of creative/application based marketing. The author Shanker Tekwani is the Chief Executive of Spectrum Cables, Ahmedabad.

New “waterproof” cable junction boxes for encapsulation – even for use under water Hensel presents the new generation of the ENYCASE cable junction boxes in waterproof design for extreme environmental conditions. Using the same advantages of the “weatherproof” ENYCASE cable junction boxes for outdoor installation, they now cover one more area of application.
Electricians regulary encounter installation environments wherein the ingress of water and formation of condensed water inside of an enclosure must be safely excluded. Even enclosures with a high degree of protection cannot guarantee this. Even cable junction boxes

with a degree of protection IP 68 cannot prevent damaging amounts of water in the interior through cummulation of condensation. And measures for ventilation cannot be implemented everywhere. Cable junction boxes must be waterproof when installed
in potentially flooded areas in a sub-surface location, in outdoor ground-level cable ducts, in flooding zones near rivers, harbors or underpasses, or in unprotected outdoor installations on ground level. Hensel, specialist and market leader for cable junction
boxes made of plastics, is presenting a new generation of “waterproof” cable junction boxes in four sizes and various designs in either black or grey. “Waterproof” for encapsulation but still accessible
February 2015
ENYCASE cable junction boxes are “waterproof� by encapsulation in compliance with the DIN VDE V 0606-22-100 standard for use in extreme areas of application. The durable elastic, silicone-free sealing compound used for encapsulation entirely prevents the ingress of water and formation of condensed water inside the enclosure. The encapsulated cable junction boxes also provide reliable protection against shock and vibration. The strain relief is being realized by cable glands. The sealing compound is characterised by excellent insulating properties. Since the compound is transparent, a visual inspection of the installation can be done at any time. Electrical connections can also be tested under encapsulation, as the durable elastic material is self-sealing. The sealing compound can be easily removed for repairs, reinstallation, or modifications to the installation. It is recommended to use materials that are tested for this purpose only, as safety and durability are not guaranteed when using not qualified materials, e.g. silicone from the construction market. New enclosure design offers multiple benefits Many details have been optimised in comparison to the previous generation of cable junction boxes. The most striking one is the design of the enclosures which offers several benefits. The elegant and smooth polycarbonate enclosure is even more robust and offers plenty of space for wiring. The enclosures are flame-retardant and successfully passed the
February 2015
glow wire test at 960°C. The enclosure can be quickly opened and closed with only one quarter turn. The shape of the enclosure enables the electrician to immediately inspect whether all locks are closed properly. The external brackets for fastening, that are always included in the scope of supply are particularly advantageous for encapsulated applications. Multi-level knockouts for cable entries in different sizes adapted to the nominal crosssections of the cable glands allow the use of applicable cable cross-sections. Terminals designed for ultimate flexibility In particular, the newly developed terminals with two clamping units per pole are unique. The screw-type terminals are suitable to connect different conductor types and cross-sections. Thanks to the terminal technology of two clamping units per pole, various conductor cross-sections and types can be connected without using any extra measures. Terminals prevent damage of conductors, also for flexible conductors without ferrule. This saves time and reduces costs. Variable terminal positions are another highlight. Due to their high-position terminals keep free accessible for cables inserted into the junction boxes. At the same time, there is more space available, even with the maximum number of fitted cables. This enables the optimal terminal position for quick and easy wiring. For more information : info@hensel-electric.in

Explore the power potentiality of the East and Northeast @ PowerElec-East Expo2015 Since time immemorial the veiled power potentiality of the Eastern and Northeastern regions of India has always aroused interest among the power industries to make their presence more strong in this sector through the exposure of their hi-tech power products. However, they constantly faced challenges regarding it. FairAct with the support of several business organizations has organized Powerelec-East Expo 2015 from 21st February- 23rd February 2015 at Milan Mela Complex, Kolkata to give those players an opportunity to bring to light unused potentiality of the Northeastern and Eastern states and also to accomplish the task of bringing these states nearer to the national flow.
Though the Eastern and North-eastern regions posses surfeiting natural resources and noteworthy potentiality, yet its geographical conditions and locations comes to the forefront as major hurdles preventing the smooth development of its power sector. As per the estimated report presented by North Eastern Electric Power Corporation (NEEPCO), out of 40% of the net hydro potential of the nation, sadly, only 2% is harnessed successfully. Large distribution and transmission losses, low excise as compared to the expenses involved in generation and transmission as well as the massive losses of the State Electricity Board are enfeebling the power growth in these areas. This serious concern calls for special efforts. To unleash the unexploited power potentiality of the

Approximately 50 companies have registered so far to participate in this niche fair. Overseas companies like Taiwan, Malaysia and China do not stay back and give their full fledged support to the event by participating in it. Engross with the power fraternity of the Northeast and East
The Exhibition is creating unique efforts to invite important visitors, not only from Northeast and Eastern regions but also from other states of the nation and, more significantly, countries in the ASEAN and SAARC regions. Exciting events like interactive programmes for the consumer industries as well as business meetings are being premeditated on the sidelines of the fair. It will therefore give tremendous opportunity to participators to promote their technologies and products. With the increasing demand for electricity generation and with the growing competition in this sector, the electronics and electrical industries are looking for solutions that can give a good competition to others as well as serve a longterm purpose. The Exhibition has given those seekers the
scope to get them engrossed with the power fraternity of the Northeast and East by having a look at the displayed products and upgrading their knowledge regarding where the power technology of these regions stand today, how the situation can be modified and by discussing with other exhibitors and visitors from the same industry they will be able to gain an insight in to the power sector and hence will come out with their innovative ideas to design a new product that will drew in more customers.

Gearing upto Future India! 120 Years of “Made by Heller” From bench vice to highly flexible manufacturing system
In the year of 1894, Hermann Heller started Gebr. HellerMaschinenfabrik GmbH, a small craft workshop in the Swabian town of Nurtingen, Germany. With five manufacturing locations across the world, and with staff strength of more than 2500 employees, Heller is one of the leading machine tool manufacturers in the globe. Manfred Maier, Managing Director and COO talks exclusively to our Managing Editor Hari Shanker, about Heller legacy and its Indian plans.
Can you explain Heller India in your global business network?
is usually a market for us where we have quite ups and downs. Based on the orders placed by international OEMs we have a big year in India. Other than that; it’s only smaller projects for us with Indian customers.
When you take the average of our business in the last five years, you have pretty much 40% Europe, 30% Asia, 30% North and South America. In Asia it is 85% China, and little bit in Japan, Korea and India. India
HELLER India is one of our 30 qualified sales & service
bases, which are responsible for the individual support and advice of our customers located in India. Being present in the most important markets including India will make us more attractive to existing customers and will help us to attract new customers and to expand into new industries.
How was your penetration into the Indian local market? I would say when you look at the size of the country in India, it is clear that we do not have real area coverage. We have key accounts that are the large OEMs, and then I would call it we have spot customers,
1894 Chimney heads and spiral steel stairs are among the most important made by the mechanical workshop run by company founder Herman Heller.
1899 The “easily portable “oscillating saw is an “indispensable tool” in railway construction. Its price including 6 saw bands and a manual sharpening device, amounts to 160 German marks. At the time, staff comprises 7 craftsmen and 3 apprentices.

1908 Construction of the first radial drilling machine model, the RB1 : “The radial drilling machine is characterised by its simplicity, robust and attractive design as well as highest performance. All levers required for its operation are within easy reach of the operator”.
1932 HELLER sells successful cold circular sawing machines and saw blade skiving machines, for example the model B250, “despite keen global competition”.
where we know that the performance of a Heller machine and the deliverables of the Heller organization would be a good fit for these specific customers. Heller Machines are in the high-priced segment compared to the machines offered by other global and Indian manufacturers and we
don’t want to compete in the “me too” requirements. We are in the high end product applications, and I think we would continue that proud. Mr. Mahesh Tyagi our Indian Managing Director, is looking for sales channel partners that will help us to cover little more of India.
As India is growing fast as a manufacturing hub, what steps Heller Group is taking to maximize the manufacturing potentiality of the country? HELLER is not generating or maximising manufacturing potential in a specific industry or region. However, HELLER is offering manufacturing
solutions providing maximum investment security and flexibility for meeting current and future changes in market and manufacturing requirements. HELLER has to provide product and solution packages enabling our customers to achieve optimal and competitive per-piece costs.

Your strength was basically in the automotive sector? I would divide and say Heller is known for the power train applications. Heller is also known for heavy machining, lot of metal removing and to pull high accuracy. And that is also true in case of agricultural equipment, in construction equipment, in power generation, in general engineering. Aerospace is something new that we be will starting, we are already doing titanium machining in India, so Heller is more than automotive and having more than 120 years of history that was all over the world recognized in the prospect. Talking of automotive industries, where products are undergoing a rapid change, how do you manage this obsolete rate?
Basically, the following is true for many companies from the automotive industry: maximum flexibility takes precedence over maximum productivity whilst investment costs must be kept to a minimum. This is a result of increased requirements in terms of component and end product variety and also increasingly shorter product life cycles.

appropriate requirements.
Market response of CBC technology set up by your company. When we can expect it to be launched in India?
What measures should be implemented to deploy outstanding output practices while meeting cost competitiveness in machining sector?
In terms of its turnkey competence for crankcase manufacturing systems, HELLER is offering systems for the coating of cylinder bores for the global markets under the name HELLER CylinderBoreCoating. However, HELLER does not specialise in coating systems but still considers development, design and production of complete manufacturing systems for engine manufacture its core competencies. Our aim is to be offering the complete process chain in this area. Target groups are all companies from the automotive industry worldwide, including India, approaching us with
How the automotive industry will fare in the future years? Apparently, the desire for mobility is innate to man. From this perspective the world market provides enormous growth potential. However, the development of the automotive sector is closely linked to the installation of the related infrastructure. That is why it is not possible to provide equal levels of mobility in all countries and regions at the
HELLER is responding with the comprehensive range of our machining centres & modules and other special machines. Our portfolio is not allencompassing but extensive: pallet changer machines with pallet sizes from 400x500mm to 1250x1250mm and table loading machines, 4-axis and 5-axis machining, a 5th axis provided by the tool and 5th axis provided by the workpiece, tool magazines from 15 to over 400 storage places, standard HELP specification or up to 100% implementation of customer performance specifications, manual loading
1942 The new developed crankshaft rotary milling machine reduces the overall milling time of an aircraft engine crankshaft from 150 to 25 minutes! What is more, “the high quality of the milled surfaces eliminates the need for further processing before grinding�.

HELLER introduces electro hydraulic control using 24V control voltage – against the general trend of the time. This technology is a key characteristic to achieve the high reliability HELLER products are known for.

1962 HELLER builds numerically controlled milling machines and machining centres, featuring automatic tool change and NC surface milling and boring heads.

The machining centres from the BEA range are produced in series and equipped with state-of-the-art CNG technology – HELLER uniPro NC 80 control. At the end of November 1986, the company receives 750th order for a machining centre.
of setting station, from pallet transfer systems to workpiece loading via gantry. It must be possible to produce all these manufacturing solutions in series whilst ensuring that they are adaptable to individual customer requirements. Does your new manufacturing facility in China offers any cost advantage to the Indian customers? No, our plan so far in China is basically not the matter of producing any machines, because all high-level components in the Heller machine tools are coming either from Europe or from Japan . So, there’s no cost advantage in this area. The only area where you can have cost advantage is labor. Then, when you look at our machine, 70% of the machine costs for material, no benefit going to China. The result we see is opposite, we might pay import duties. Then
February 2015
about10% is metal cutting, before we start metal cutting in China, it would take a lot of investments and high volumes to make that economically feasible. So, you have less than 15% assembly, that what you can save only if you go into series production and that is not the case there. So what we doing in China is really integration where the finish machine would come from another Heller location and then we add things for fuelling, automation like that. How Heller is handling the current global economic conditions, challenges of cutting down cost and improving productivity? Heller overall no matter where in the world at the end it’s about per piece cost. When you look at the equation per piece cost, the first part you need to be low. Our statement is low over the life-cycle, not
only low in the first year, and that is not only the investment of the machine tool, where tool that fixes the automation, the number of operators, the infrastructure, and so on, that will come with costs. And in today’s market, we are convinced that what we see the duration when a product is stable in the market without any change is shortening. That means if somebody invests in manufacturing equipment, he has to invest in flexible equipment, so that the end product can be changed and the user can use that manufactured equipment. And that’s why we are convinced that our equipments which last for 15-25 years have a bigger benefit and long-term lower cost than competitors who have a smaller investment in the beginning but their products did not last more than 8-10 years. That is the cost side.
The other side is the number of quality products that are being manufactured with that investment, and there you need to have the accuracy, the long-term accuracy again. You need to have control on your workpiece, not only that but also your plant and your operators need to be able to handle the equipment. And that’s something where I feel each country might need a different solution. It doesn’t help you if you have the best man and the best client in the world, but if it has an overall equipment efficiency of 50% only. That is the area where we offer partnership with our customers on an individual basis. I would say in India there is a lot of resources that can handle sophisticated automated CNC systems. What are the new innovations Heller offers to the Indian market?
www.martupdate.com
53
There is nothing that is specifically for India. When you look at our overall product range, the horizontal machining centres, the 5-axis machining centres and now also the mill turning machining centres are certainly the right products for India. It’s a high level of sophistication, our products offers high side performance wise. So, we will bring the same technology to India as it is elsewhere in the world. When you are planning to set up a technology centre in India where these people can be trained on how to handle these Heller machines?
We are offering the whole product range to the Indian market and having the whole product range available in a technology centre is not feasible. We produce machines in China, US, Brazil but the large range is available from Europe. We bring our Indian employees to Germany or to UK, to get them trained by working with their colleagues there, to get their level of knowledge up. Our Indian colleagues are able to communicate with the European or US colleagues and that will help to bring the best solution to the customers back in India. Today we have probably more Indians –service
engineers and engineers in the Heller Group of Germany, US and UK than in India. Indian industry is still premature and it will take time to grow to a global level. What is the future Heller sees in India? The growth in the world is driven by the people who want to eat every moment. When you look at that, India has a huge population that is growing, that would see growth in all sectors of industries in the coming years starting in agriculture. To feed the people, agriculture production is to go up, that
means agriculture equipment’s growth. You need better infrastructure so construction equipments, and then being mobile, a motorbike and eventually a car. So, I would say the chain of growth is here whether it is coming in five or ten years. We are not here for the size of the market today, but for the future potential. If we come only after letting this growth happens, we will be too late. So, we need to be here and control our costs and be an economical business and I believe that within the next 5 years India will become the fastest growing manufacturing country in the world.
1994 The Flexible System Transferline FST meets the demand for special purpose machines for varied applications whilst providing high power and reduced cycle times.
2011 At EMO 2011 in Hanover, HELLER presents the new C series for combined mill/turning operations.
2013/ 2014 HELLER receives the German Innovation Award for Climate and Environment (IKU) for the marketable arc spraying technology called CBC (CylinderBoreCoating).

AUTOMATION
Impact of Big Data and IoT on Industrial Automation (Vis-a-Vis Electronics) Big data is a term which refers to data sets that are so large and complex which they can’t be captured, curated, managed or processed by commonly used software tools, within an acceptable period of time. Traditionally, areas that regularly encountered limitations caused by large data sets were meteorology, genomics, complex physics simulations or biological and environmental research. Recently, big data-related problems have extended to other sectors, including industry.
Rajesh Angadi rajesh_angadi@hotmail.com
The increase in the number of data production and data gathering technologies, like mobile devices, software logs and wireless sensor networks, has allowed for the technological capacity to store information to roughly double every 40 months since the 1980s. In light of the mass adoption of such technological breakthroughs, big data has now extended its reach to sectors like manufacturing and industrial automation. Nevertheless the potential big data holds for industrial automation players remains mostly untapped. However, obsolete component provider European Automation has sensed its clients are making a definite move in this direction. In recent years, there has been a significant rise of orders for automation solutions compatible with big data applications. This includes
56
www.martupdate.com
high demand for products like sensors, PLCs and technology that can interpret large sets of information. Similarly, the PLCs and industrial computers European Automation sells are becoming more complex and powerful.
After deciding to exploit the potential of big data, companies could face three main problems:
This reflects an initial stage of the big data phenomenon in industrial automation purchasing the technologies that allow the collection of substantial amounts of data. Counter intuitively, there has also been a move back towards thin client computing in an industrial context, allowing greater data processing by a central unit - similarly to an old fashioned mainframe.
2) How to make sense of it. Collecting the data is no longer a major issue, as there is a vast range of automatic identification and data capture related technologies,
As of 2012, 2.5 Exabyte’s (2.5 x 1018 bytes) of data have been created on a daily basis. The size of these new data sets is incredibly difficult to perceive. Just think of the technology required to actually manage them.
1) How to collect the data, where to store it and, most importantly,
3) How it can be implemented in industrial automation and equipment management systems. The rise of cloud computing has also resolved many issues regarding the storage of data. At the moment, the biggest challenge for industrial automation companies who plan to use big data, is finding the right technology to help them interpret large and
diverse data sets and turn them from noise, into practical, actionable information. In recent years, several software solutions have been developed for industrial big data applications. One way of processing large data sets in parallel, across many nodes in a cluster is the MapReduce programming model. It’s composed of a map formula, which filters data, and a reduce formula, which collates the information collected across several locations to a single result. As opposed to traditional software, which painstakingly moves data over a network to be processed by the software, MapReduce moves the processing software to thedata bank. This smart approach is tailor made for big data sets. A popular open-source implementation of MapReduce comes in the form of Apache Hadoop, a

software solution which can process large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models. It allows companies to collate data and analyse it using specific questions. Google, Dell, IBM, Microsoft and Oracle already offer commercial implementations of Hadoop and provide support for them. While the Hadoop software is very complex to use, the October launch of Hadoop 2.0 - now on general release - has encouraged start-ups and established companies to create tools to change that. This represents an important step towards finding big data analysis solutions. With the aid of this new generation of software, the shop floor becomes a highly automated environment, ideal for leveraging big data. Predictive diagnosis is one of the main big data applications for manufacturing. Identifying possible patterns in product quality, manufacturing data and service reports represent just some uses of big data on at the cutting edge of production engineering. For example, manufacturers will
February 2015
be able to analyse years of past data and examine production variations to see whether they were followed by outages. This type of application can enable extremely useful predictive diagnosis. Big data also holds the potential for manufacturers to uncover looming business trends and improve responsiveness to them. Internally, one of the biggest benefits of using big data is the ability to collect information from the system and identify poor performances or signs of equipment deterioration. Automation and manufacturing problems could then be detected, diagnosed and resolved, without any interruptions in the production process. Power or plant condition monitoring could also predict failures and equipment fatigue by analysing historical data. As such, big data applications have the potential to significantly reduce maintenance and downtime costs. Finally, industrial automation companies can use big data from process measurement sources to identify where
production improvements can be made. The information collected from meters, drivers, intelligent starters or motor control centres can allow the optimisation of complex system behaviours. By observing causal factors for quality issues, process variability and energy efficiency through the manufacturing process, big data analysis becomes the basis for gaining a competitive advantage. To achieve this, companies have to find a highly personalised solution that turns big data into a valuable source of market insight information, predictive analysis and operation management. Faced with the big data challenge, we here at Indian Automation has been making conscious efforts to focus on collecting and analysing the right data. The first step is to determine what we want to find out and which information is relevant to that particular issue. For example, if the purpose is to learn more about what areas our services need improving, we go to our customer survey and feedback forms. If, on the
other hand, we want to know what types of automation parts we need to stock up on, we look at sales records to identify key products and we check our lean warehouse database. Indian Automation has taken the first steps towards developing a high performance data analysis algorithm, but we’re still only at the beginning of the road. However, we are starting to see the advantages of using big sets of data to gain priceless market insight. Looking at our sales and the trending products, we estimate that in the next couple of years, more industrial automation companies will look in the direction of big data to increase production efficiency, become more agile and boost sales. Industrial Automation is widespread in process and discrete manufacturing industries, but major changes are on the horizon. Increased networking and wireless (Machine to Machine) connectivity open the door to security threats; pervasive sensing and measurement yield vast amounts of data.

Internet of things and Industrial Automation The idea of the Internet of Things (IoT) has been creating a great deal of excitement in the computing and communications industry for some time. Currently, the industrial automation industry is starting to explore and implement IoT concepts and technology. Other terms related to these concepts are machine to machine (M2M), Internet of Everything, Internet of Things, and IP (Internet protocol) to the Edge. The IoT vision is of a massively instrumented world of intelligent sensors (analog and digital) and actuators (analog and digital) communicating using IP to improve performance and efficiency. Internet protocol is the primary protocol in the Internet layer of the Internet protocol suite, delivering packets from source hosts to destination hosts solely based on the IP addresses in packet headers. There are a broad range of IoT applications
that can be improved with sensing and control, including health care, traffic control, vehicle safety, energy use, agriculture, and manufacturing. This vision includes coupling massive sensing and control with big data and analytics to accomplish advanced levels of optimization and efficiency. Industrial automation has a history of adopting commercial technology as it becomes mainstream, and applying IoT technologies to improve performance and enable better integration with business systems is a logical step. IoT applied to automation uses this technology to streamline, collapse, and create system architectures that are more affordable, responsive, and effective. The goal is frictionless communications and interaction from manufacturing field input/ output (I/O), including sensors, actuators, analysers, drives, vision, video, and robotics, for increased manufacturing performance and flexibility. This revolution will drive
intelligence to the edge of the system with the ultimate goal of all industrial devices supporting IP, including field I/O. Wireless IP devices, including smartphones, tablets, and sensors, are already being used in manufacturing. The wireless sensor I/O open standards WirelessHART, ISA100, and WIA-PA are all IP devices supporting the latest IPv6 standards, which leverage larger address spaces and improved cybersecurity standards. The IP-enabled manufacturing automation architecture will distribute more functions into new breeds of powerful industrial controllers and sensors/ actuators with embedded processors, eliminating the need for middle-level software that is cumbersome, expensive, and difficult to maintain. Internet of Things “Connecting the unconnected. This means identification of the device, a communication infrastructure able to securely deploy billions of devices, and open standards to sustain
innovation in manned and unmanned environments. The IoT benefits from decades of innovation and the benefits of experience from large deployments [on a worldwide scale] using Internet protocol technologies and associated security protocols.� IPv6 up to the end device is the common basis for the IoT. International standard organizations in all domains [industrial, smart grid, transportation, home] have already published standards based on IP [IPv6] communications and will continue to work on endorsing IP technologies on their respective domains. Internet protocol technologies are the responsibility of the IETF [Internet Engineering Task Force]. A close relationship with the IEEE [Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers] ensures that all the communication layers work perfectly together. “Wireless sensor networks offer the capability to extend the reach of monitoring and control

beyond what is physically and economically possible with wires. The next step of process optimization will be gained by leveraging the collection of currently unused measurements by widely distributed sensing devices and analytic capabilities. This will require the combination of the best of IT and OT [operational technology] together, forming the IT/OT convergence, aka the Industrial Internet. This evolution is perfectly illustrated by the emergence of time-sensitive networking, on both wired networks with deterministic Ethernet and wireless networks with 802.15.4e TSCH that are initially driven by automation applications and generalized to multiple industries, such as audio video and finances.� OPC UA OPC UA is a platform independent service-oriented architecture that integrates all the functionality of the individual OPC Classic specifications into one extensible framework which supports the Internet of Things with an efficient and secure infrastructure for communications from sensors and controllers to business
enterprise for automation systems in manufacturing and process control. It uses Web services, which are becoming the preferred method for system communications and interaction for all networked devices. Manufacturing Integration Companies have been grappling with the integration of manufacturing and business systems to increase efficiency for a number of years. Enterprise IT has been evolving for years from ERP, material requirements planning, manufacturing resource planning, and integrated suites encompassing business functions, supply chain management, asset management, production scheduling, and optimization. These systems are becoming real time, aided by the growing availability and adoption of IP-based technologies, making it practical to improve manufacturing performance and return on assets. The strength of the Internet of Things is that everything down to end devices, including sensors, actuators, and controls (i.e., contactors, relays, circuit breakers), can be accessed using the
Internet infrastructure. This access opens the possibilities for holistic and adaptive automation with the goal of increasing efficiency. This is a logical evolution in step with the Internet of Things trend and will lead to more responsive and efficient production, along with better integration with business systems. Impact on Industrial Automation The major impact will be on the connections of currently unconnected devices. In a lot of ways, having intelligent devices can be seen as diminishing the role of programmable logic controllers (certainly) and distributed control systems (other than safety or regulatory conditions). It will propagate the concept of stand-alone subsystems as part of a larger mesh. In many cases today, there is reluctance to add devices to a control system unless they are needed for control, due to the cost factor. The promise of IoT is to remove this barrier and make any information available to anyone, anytime. Change will come from a need for deterministic network
bandwidth, processing power, and distributed intelligence, at a more attractive price point than legacy platforms offer. This is the model that was responsible for the proliferation of servo motion-a steady increase in capability with a corresponding reduction in hardware costs. Over the next 10 years we are going to see control systems reimagined and transformed to play a different role in manufacturing.

What: is IT & OT So as we look at what it means when the world OT (Operational Technology) and the IT (Information Technology) converge we need to assess it from two angles. One where IT systems and professionals, who have always had the responsibility for setting up information technology infrastructures supporting manufacturing businesses, and the other from business heads imagining new products for the

industrial internet that IoT (Internet of things)-enabled at birth. So we have the IT world looking at enabling interactions with the physical world of products, be it on the shop floor or on the field, and the challenges associated with managing this new world. And we also have the business side designing a new era of products that assume interactions with corporate IT systems whether they are within the managed corporate IT networks or not.
Most of industries are dabbling with both these worlds and see many business drivers for this convergence. Increased operational efficiency utilizing machine data is the typical starting point for most of these Industrial Internet initiatives. Also we see a huge impetus for advancing consumer insightwith predictive algorithms for better customer service offerings and forecasting demand for items like renewables.

Challenges for IT/ OT convergence As you can imagine these are interesting times at Altizon. As we work with both these worlds there are certain challenges we call out for IT/OT solutions. First and foremost, these solutions dabble in a very diverse set of equipment that have a myriad set of protocols. Over time they generate humungous amounts of data that need to be stored in some cases forever. Building solutions which cater to these diverse interfacing requirements and unstructured data storage and processing needs is non trivial. All of this unstructured data needs to be made available for processing in real time as well as scheduled processing. Typical corporate IT teams need support with skills and infrastructure for building these data infrastructures. Particular attention needs to be paid to the security and compliance risks for this new infrastructure. Unlike the past you now need to know whether the industrial equipment out there on the field has been authenticated, is securely transmitting data and whether there is threat vulnerability from the asset. Again all these need to be assessed in real time and a continual basis. As you look at the physical world there are situations where your solutions need to cater for the diversity of networks that maybe involved. Sensors, machines and gateways need to combine to provide the information you need when you need them. Your solutions need to also function in an environment where some of this data is available partially. In one of our solutions we were working
February 2015
with an automotive major that is looking at gaining supply chain visibility by tapping into machine data from its suppliers. These kinds of solutions require special care around legal aspects of ownership of machine data. Policies need to be adhered to from a privacy and compliance perspective. Just as there is huge diversity in industrial equipment, over the years several OT systems have been put in place. We need to look at these as independent feeds for IT/OT convergence. And last but not the least the whole bank of current IT solutions can leverage these new data assets and applications. Identity Management infrastructure integration and enterprise app store are some of the aspects of a corporate IT roadmap that can benefit and drive immense value. In many ways these challenges were the use case for us to build our Datonis™ platform. Roadmap for leveraging IoT for IT/OT convergence As we mentioned corporate roadmap, now is a good time for us to look at attacking this large set of challenges, in a bite-sized manner. All the while laying the framework for a robust IT/OT convergence. A good starting point is this one from Gartner. Essentially this is about laying out your roadmap in four phases where you move from building monitoring solutions, which is the level 1, and then advance one level at a time, till you setup self-optimizing solutions that automatically balance IT/OT systems, resources and their management. At Altizon we have a similar approach
towards all our customer solutions in the industrial world. IT/OT integration: Use case Which brings us in turn to a case study around an IT/OT integration solutions we are working with one of our customers. This global industrial equipment manufacturer wanted to get sensors in their industrial pumps connected. The wealth of data from these sensors gives the manufacturer unparalleled insight into how their equipment is used on the field. Their goal was to drive a better customer experience by improving their support operations and eventually have this data merge into corporate applications for upsell opportunities, demand planning all the way up to applications that help them design better products. In line with the roadmap presented earlier we suggested setting up a monitoring infrastructure that helped improve their support operations. We worked with them to lay out a solution that included a 3rd party hardware vendor building a module that sits on each industrial pump to collect sensor data. It has Altizon’s Aliot SDK embedded in it to be able to aggregate this data, time stamp it and send it to our cloud based Datonis™ platform. Their corporate IT team then writes applications and data feeders to various corporate IT applications that wish to feed of this same data set. Datonis™ provides this data via a published REST API to their corporate applications. Datonis™ provides all the features associated with the challenges we discussed earlier in this presentation thereby letting their corporate

IT team only focus on business value associated with the applications. Benefits of IT/OT convergence: Across industries We see these IT/OT convergence driven solutions being of use in many industries. Some of these are already in play. Imagine a world where public utilities are able to feed disaster or emergency data into corporate IT systems and vice versa. Smart cities will require such interoperability and convergence. We have already seen multiple connected vehicle systems including Tesla that provide immense value to both customers and vehicle manufacturers. One of the unique applications we are working on involves helping an energy advocacy group with independent data on power availability and quality. These inputs are vital to build the smart grids of tomorrow in a safer and more economic manner. And finally the whole of software defined manufacturing and industry 4.0 are great examples of this convergence of IT/OT systems.

Managing the Business Risks Managing a SME in India - Part 26
Every business is exposed to risks in someway or the other. Some time, even if the business owner does not go and embrace risks, circumstances may push business at some risks. In our 26th part of our ongoing column on “Journey Towards Excellence” we will discuss about managing the business risks.

hotel is pushed into a situation of risk where business may be lost.
In a way the life itself is a big risk. There is a saying, ‘No pain, No gain’. Risk is an inevitable part of business. Infact, those who are averse to risk should not get into business. Even if risk averse persons are in business, it is unlikely that they will grow without taking some risks. Every business is exposed to risks in someway or the other. Some time, even if the business owner does not go and embrace risks, circumstances may push business at some risks.
The word risk is very predominantly used in stock market. When we try to invest money in share market, the first question the financial advisor asks is, ‘What is your risk appetite?’. By looking at the answer which gives an indication of how much risk we can digest, he will decide on percentage to be invested in equity or debt. Equity would be a risky path with very high expectation of return, whereas debt would be with lesser risk with low returns. The good advisor will try to balance between them to recommend a fair return on investment. His typical advice to us to decide always whether we want a good food (equity) or good sleep (debt).

Similar to above case, in business, the CEO or the Entrepreneur should be clear on his or her risk appetite and the growth of business is dependent on that. The first step in this to be aware of the risks he or she is in and
to find ways and means to mitigate the risks. It would be a madness to jump in on something without evaluating the risks involved. Mr. William Miller, one of authority on values centered Innovation, in his theory on Innovation steps, mentions about the importance of awareness of risks. The first step of any innovation is to generate ideas and to decide which idea to take up. Typically, in our enthusiasm we jump to implement. In his theory, William suggests to pause for a minute and to think as a second step on what are the risks involved in taking the idea further. Many times, when we think of risks, the enthusiasm and confidence on which we started comes down. How do we get back our enthusiasm? William suggests as a 3rd step, to tap our inside strength to find a way to overcome the risks. As per him, addressing
the risks right at the beginning of innovation will smoothen conversion of ideas into reality. Business risk is nothing but the possibility of loss. Risks
Business risk is nothing but the possibility of loss. Risks cannot be totally eliminated but it can be reduced by better management. The risks can be categorized as known & unknown, controllable and uncontrollable. For example, change in global market place risk is known but uncontrollable. The risk say from epidemic is unknown and can be controlled by suitable measures. The risks in business can come from nature, human and economy.

cannot be totally eliminated but it can be reduced by better management. The risks can be categorized as known & unknown, controllable and uncontrollable. For example, change in global market place risk is known but uncontrollable. The risk say from epidemic is unknown and can be controlled by suitable measures. The risks in business can come from nature, human and economy. Let us explore some of the common risks in the business and possible measures to mitigate. • Possibility of financial loss as competitor offers a better price. To mitigate, continuously monitor competitor activities and see how to add value to your product for better customer perception. Benchmarking exercise plays a good role here. • Change of consumer lifestyles or change of needs can your product obsolete. Market have to be watched continuously and company need to be innovative to change products suitably. • Financial loss is possible from inflations. Market forecast study and cost reduction

measures are required to avoid risks of erosion of profits. • Change of regulations and policies by the government can affect the business drastically. It is very difficult to predict this. But you can start adopting when you see some discussion in public on this at the early stage. You need to sense this in advance. • Risk of Financial loss and image loss due to Product recall and liability risk can be reduced by better understanding of customer requirement at the beginning of product development. FMEA (Failure Mode Effect Analysis) is a powerful tool to foresee the possible failure modes to incorporate suitable features/measures in product and process. Customer to be educated on how to use the products and likely hazards if any by wrong usage. • Risk from nature can come from floods, hurricane, earthquake, drought and unexpected change of weather. Exposure to these risks can be reduced to an extent by proper selection of location of the facility. • Safety risks can arise from accident within the factory
which in turn may be due to wrong usage of equipment. Educating employees on safety aspects and regular preventive maintenance is a must. Emergency measures of fire extinguishers and medical aid to be operational to take care in case of accidents. Smoke alarms for early alert is one of way to sense fire. • Possibility of theft can be reduced by proper security, clear policies on consequences of theft, using CCTV, providing enough lighting inside and outside premises etc. Expensive consumables and parts can be kept in a place with lock and key. Using of RFID for expensive products as done in retail stores is one of ways to reduce risks.
crime by Driver of Uber taxi in Delhi. Uber suffered loss of business and image and could have been avoided if they had done background check of Driver. • Risk of loss of Data from the company can be reduced by having firewalls, cyber policies on Data security etc. To avoid loss of damage of Data, usage of antivirus software and regular backup of data are few options. • Delay or no payment from Customer can cause loss. At the same time, you do not want to lose business. Study of market on credibility of Customer and suitable measure in agreements ( e.g. Postdated cheques from a unknown customer) can reduce the risk.
• Pay statutory requirements like taxes, PF,ESI etc. to employees to avoid any notice from the government which may dent image of the company.
• Change of technology can make product and process outdated. To avoid this, you need to study the market changes and continuously update your technology
• Risks from humans can come by misuse of facility, fraud, dishonest etc. Difficult to check these traits at the time of recruitment. Background check of employees before appointment can mitigate this case. We know recent case of

created or develop product suited to actual need where market can pull. • Management risk arises by change of focus when people in top management changes. To avoid confusion at Customer and employees, any transition at management level has to be handled properly. I know a recent case of a company where brothers had to split the company into two because of some differences. They handled so well without any confusion at Customers, without any ambiguity among employees. • Strategic risk arises by building products that no longer fits into business strategy. Follow clear process for strategy formation apart from contents. Monitor regularly whether strategy is appropriate to move towards vision of the company • You may have very critical equipment or machines
failure of which may lead to disruptions of supply. Predictive maintenance is better for this and ensuring all critical spares are available. • Risk can also be transferred by taking Insurance. There are many products available in the market to cover risks of fire, theft, burglary, lawsuits, liability, recall, natural hazards etc. Premium paid to be included as part of product costs. • One of the management jobs is to think of risks avoidance wherever possible. For example, if you are getting a report that the new product is likely to have economic risks, better to avoid it • Too much dependency on a single Customer is risky. In my opinion, share of business with a single Customer should not exceed 25%. • Similarly, depending too much on a single supplier
for critical parts may be troublesome. In such cases, better to have dual sourcing strategy
happens. This result is also called as risk value. Efforts to be made to reduce the risk value.
• In execution of projects, many assumptions will be made in terms of labour required, escalation of costs, budgets, technical feasibility and so on. To avoid risk of delay and exceeding budgets, the project has to be evaluated by a team of experts to collate all inputs. Before finalization of the project, all assumptions made to be documented.
The management has to do in regular intervals risk audit of their business to mitigate any threats. An effective risk management process will reduce any crisis happening. Too much orientation towards risk will hamper growth. It is a balance act. I do not wish you a risk free business but a risk managed business.
• Wherever risks cannot be avoided, reduced or transferred then it has to be faced boldly Risk is inevitable in any project or business. The evaluation can be quantitative and qualitative. In a simple way, risk is a product of multiplication of probability that some particular issue will happen and the impact on results if that issue

I keep interrupting people when they are talking, as I want to put my point forth. I know that I should not be doing that. Every time I do the same pattern of behaviour I tell myself I shall not repeat the behaviour only to do it
again and again.... Love is in the air..... the month of Love ..... Valentines... I was wondering what I should get for my loved ones... Every year I dine with them, give them a gift and tell them ‘I Love you’. I do it
for my friends, my family and my near and dear ones. From my childhood, my dad had always gifted me something for Valentines so I believe Valentine’s day is for all those whom we love. In today’s world the concept of Valentine
is ‘Love for your Lover alone’ – what is that? I wonder. Everyone wants to do the same thing. The same letter, valentine card, the heart, the wine and dine, the jewellery, nothing seems to be different.

The one way known to shift beliefs is to make a stronger identity of ourselves and weave it many tiny actions. Beliefs will drop if one is strongly focussed in what we want and how much we want it. This would make us take that extra effort to break the routine patterns of operation.
I am thinking, ‘Why not spend this Valentine’s day at the orphanage, the old age home? Or take a nice walk in the garden all by myself. Aren’t we supposed to love everything in nature? ‘The strongest instinct is to keep things familiar’ Even thinking about how things could be different overwhelms us with fear. What will people think of me? When challenges and obstacles come in our path, we want to quickly resolve them and normalize our existence. We sometimes even pray that everything becomes normal again, the same routine, the same comfort environment. When this does not happen we tend to have anxiety disorders and hike up our stress levels. In our last issue we saw that we all have patterns of action which we perform repeatedly. This is normal and there is nothing to be worried about. Conscious effort put in any action giving us the happiness would be fruitful. At the same time if we have a situation that - when the repeated patterns are disrupted to create a mental stress levels, then it is something to be worried about.
February 2015
When we get into the comfort level of performing actions and create patterns of behaviour we are creating a demon within us. This demon if not tamed would over power us and engulf us. We then become a slave to the mind which now has its own way of operation and tends to become a Frankenstein. It is high time that we wake up and be ready to tame our mind which is bent on having its own way. Changing beliefs thereby changing patterns of behaviour As we saw in the previous issues, thoughts created in the brain due to the information taken in through the five senses are responsible for beliefs to be formed. When we go through our experiences, whatever it may be, our brain misinterprets the experience with the already stored data. The success or the failure will further deepen our beliefs. To believe something we have references to support the thought – specific experiences that back up the belief. Just like without legs the table top will not stand by itself, beliefs also need references to support them. So the
www.martupdate.com
71
challenge now is that most of us do not consciously decide what we are going to believe. Instead, often our beliefs are misinterpretations of past events. It becomes habitual. People will change their behaviour if they see the new behaviour as easy, rewarding and normal. Changing and doing a new behaviour will give results that are valuable. As People do not want to be the odd man out, they want to follow what is usually done. If one has the courage to break all patterns and start to generate choices, life can be simplified and easily adaptable. The one way known to shift beliefs is to make a stronger identity of ourselves and weave it many tiny actions. Beliefs will drop if one is strongly focussed in what we want and how much we want it. This would make us take that extra effort to break the routine patterns of operation.
If we develop the absolute sense of certainty that powerful beliefs provide, then we can get ourselves to accomplish virtually anything including those things other people are certain are impossible We need to move from the comfort zone to the performing zone. We need a very strong objective or outcome and fall in love with it. And this is the Valentine gift we give to ourselves.... Our dream 3 Basic A’s important for an Individual: Awareness, Alertness and Agility Awareness : being aware of our thought processes inside our brain and how we formulate our beliefs and what we say before and after an experience Alertness : what goes around us – the information, the environment, keenly observing anything and everything that

TALENT MANAGEMENT
Make Way for the Leader Repeated studies show that organizations that invest in the development of their leaders consistently outperform those that do not. How can the human capital of any business be leveraged to build a team of leaders necessary to take the organization to the next level?
Pavan Sriram pavan@ittige.com
Employers like you do realize that leadership talent is one of the important elements required for their company to be successful. While not yet considered number one, leadership development is a top consideration for executive teams when engaging in business planning. In addition, because HR deals intimately with organizational talent, this function continues to
elevate itself to a strategic position.The other good news is that the senior executives are beginning to understand their accountability for organizational talent. Because leader development is directly affecting companies at an operational level, this means it is affecting line managers’ base performance. Since it has become a genuine
concern, executives are stepping up, acknowledging that it’s not just an HR problem, and addressing the issue by more closely collaborating with HR. High performing companies understand that execution takes place at the grass roots level. It is the line managers, supervisors, and middle managers who make things happen. If the CEO doesn’t
push his or her leadership strategy down effectively, it won’t take hold. In fact research shows that the best companies develop leaders from the bottom up. Senior executives “serve” the needs of line leaders, like an inverse pyramid. The “inverse pyramid” of leadership is one now widely used by many agile organizations like Accenture.
At Accenture we have a philosophy that “everyone is a leader” and each individual is given the responsibility to understand the business and make decisions which support the mission of the entire organization. We call this “stewardship” and reinforce to managers that they must “leave work each day making Accenture a better organization.”
Why organisations should nurture their leadership talent?

Linking Leadership strategy to Business strategy Regardless of who the CEO may be, operational execution takes place at the senior-level and mid-level. When these individuals are well aligned, coached, and trained, the business thrives. High-performing companies understand this, and they build a leadership strategy which uniquely trains, supports, and selects people who drive their business’s strategy. By doing this, they build execution into the culture. A great example of this is UPS. UPS is a company which has outperformed other express companies for many years and it continues to transform itself from its origin as a horse and buggy delivery company. The company promotes from within and continues to promote a leadership culture of customer service, safety, and entrepreneurship. If the CEO were replaced, he or she would come into a company with a deep rooted leadership culture. Leadership Development – where does it begin? It is important in the early stages of any business, to define and agree on the type of leadership required for the specific mission of the company. There are core leadership competencies that
76
www.martupdate.com
all business leaders need, such as communication, strategic thinking and team building. In addition to a set of core competencies, there are certain characteristics that correlate to the uniqueness of an organization’s needs. Many variables affect leadership needs, including the stage of business and growth rate, as well as industry and market opportunities and threats. Talent alignment is imperative in determining the gaps between what is needed for organizational expansion and what is already in place. Depending on the current size and structure of the business, the process might begin at the CXO level. Businesses should identify those performers with both the desire and ability to lead by looking at their leadership strengths and areas of improvement.
managers’ skills through action learning and other programs that rapidly accelerate the leadership talents of high potential performers and, in turn, enhance business outcomes. So, while the discretionary spend on talent management generally, and leader development more specifically, is never a given in uncertain times, the resources allocated to leader development can have much greater impact and returns. Role of the Learning Function
The key to accelerated leader development is combining the developmental needs of the talent with the organizational needs of the company into one applied development experience.
The learning function can begin by looking at optimal leaders within the company. What are their backgrounds, experiences and educational levels? What do they behaviourally and cognitively do that makes them successful? Looking at common denominators makes it easier to further refine the organizational competencies and to identify and develop specific competencies for each position. Once the organization understands what it needs from its leaders to be most effective, leadership talent can be discovered and developed.
In essence, organizations re-conceptualize the idea of leadership in a forwardfocused, business specific way leaving behind out-dated training-for-development paradigms and their subpar results. They develop
Then they should create a professional leadership engagement plan to capitalize on and enhance those areas. It should be reinforced through customised training, on-thejob experience, coaching and mentoring programs, and
plug the leaders into growth opportunities and projects within the organization that will allow them to use their identified strengths and development areas. Depending on the bench talent of the organization, they might be paired with another leader who can be a mentor or sounding board during the project. They can also work with experienced professionals who can take an objective look at each emerging leader’s areas of development and assist with growth through behavioural and cognitive activities that can be worked on and measured over several months. Creating leaders usually doesn’t happen by accident. It involves a structured process that even small businesses can leverage today to create tomorrow’s leaders.Leadership competency assessment tools, including a 360-degree profile, can show strengths, as well as needed areas of improvement. Do write to me at pavan@ittige.com on how your organisation is identifying and nurturing leadership qualities across all levels.

CASE STUDY
CSP’s Flying ‘Bus’ To classic car enthusiasts around the world there’s nothing more traditionally German than an air-cooled flat-four VW engine, whether it’s powering a Karman Ghia a VW Beatle, a VW Transporter ‘Bus’ or, in its more highly-tuned state, a Porsche 356. Derivatives and variations of the motor were produced for 70-years after it was first introduced, in 1936. And today, its ubiquity and its robust and simple design make it, for restorers and racers, one of the most accessible and eminently tunable of all classic engines.
Matt Bailey press@mbmc-uk.com
Providing high-performance parts for vehicles powered by the Volkswagen flat-four is big business, with no shortage of suppliers in Europe or the US. One company with the right credentials and a thick catalogue of engine, brake and chassis components is Custom and Speed Parts (CSP), based in Bargteheide, near Hamburg, Germany. Founded in 1987 by Peter
78
www.martupdate.com
Köhmann, CSP is well known to the VW cognoscenti, not least for its racing endeavors where it tests many of its parts made on its Haas CNC machine tools. The company’s exquisitely crafted Type 34 Karmann Ghia VW powered dragster sits in the showroom entrance of its production facility, surrounded by plinth-mounted variants of the classic engine. The company’s heavily modified Type 34 holds the
class record for the ¼ mile at 8:85 seconds (156mph). Its 2165cc engine develops 500bhp, which is ten times what the standard car produces using the same size block and case. Almost all of the tuning, brake and suspension parts are made by CSP. “This is our weekend obsession,” says Peter. “Racing takes up a lot of time and money of course, but it’s a great test-bed for CSP products and it attracts a lot of attention. We wanted the car
to be as good as possible so our focus when we built it was on quality and finish just as much as performance. It was properly painted after its record-breaking run. The paint alone took 500 man-hours!” The company’s focus on quality isn’t just about aesthetics. All of CSPs products are made to meet exacting German TÜV standards. “We’re creating and selling
February 2015
parts to make classic VWs and Porsches go quicker than they were ever designed to go. So, we have to make sure everything we produce and sell is certified and tested to the highest standards. We want our customers to know they can take their vehicles on the autobahn and they will be safe. There are cheaper products available from Chinese factories, but I wouldn’t trust them on German roads.” Thomas Kelm, Peter Köhmann’s right-hand-man, is in charge of CNC programming and production. “Originally, we were using subcontractors to make parts,” he says. “Quality and delivery were patchy, to say the least. Out of the blue the company who made the parts for us went out of business. Peter hired the owner and we bought a Haas VF-3 CNC machining centre.”
February 2015
“Our supplier had been working for himself for around 25 years,” Peter adds, “so he found the transition very hard. Suddenly, he had a boss!
the parts. He decided there and then that he couldn’t work for us. He found it too difficult to adapt and be part of someone else’s company.”
“He began with us by working normal workshop hours, which he didn’t enjoy. Immediately, he was very frustrated, so programming the Haas and setting-up the parts to be machined was laborious for him. He was using manual data input for all parts, irrespective of how complex they were. The quality of the parts he was making was not very good. So, Thomas began helping.” The new recruit lasted just a few days. One day, not unexpectedly, he didn’t turn up.
Thomas taught himself to use SolidWorks and CAMWorks. “I’m more of an ideas man,” says Peter. “I sketch my ideas and Thomas now makes them into CAD models and generates the code. We found ourselves in a position where we could finally make the parts I was imagining. We were able to develop them, refine them and get them into production quickly. Parts that our subcontractor was making as fabrications, we were able to machine from solid billets, so they looked and worked so much better.”
“In his absence, Thomas got the machine running and making parts. Our employee came back a day or two later to find Thomas was machining
The mount for a rear disc brake, for example, was originally made on two machines: first a lathe, then a vertical. Now the part is made
in one set-up on the Haas. Peter is also a keen mountain biker, so in the early day of having the new Haas mill he kept it busy and practiced his design skills by creating a range extender to fit Shimano 11-speed cassettes. As with the VW tuning parts the Shimano ring is cut from solid billet, after which it’s anodized black. It may not be the company’s core business, but it’s an example of how creative minds will always find work for their tools. “The machinist we hired originally specified the Haas VF-3,” says Peter. “It’s a very useful machine but after he left we quickly discovered we needed the VF-2SS with its higher spindle speeds. We take advantage of the long table on the VF-3 and load it up with as many parts as possible. However, our eventual aim is to upgrade it to another VF-2SS.”

In the meantime, both Haas machines have also enabled the company to make better prototypes of new products. “We kind of use the Haas machines as 3D printers,” says Peter. “For example, we rough cut new brake calipers which we then use for fitment tests. Although the final product is cast, machining the first versions in aluminium is so much quicker and easier.” The finished parts themselves may not be authentic, but CSP tries to maintain an authentic final look wherever possible. For example, one of the company’s brake brackets allows a customer to dispose of original drum brakes and mount much more powerful disc brakes, whilst still keeping the traditional, five-bolt wheel pattern typical of 60’s VWs. Valve covers – also shown in an accompanying photograph, are another mainstay CSP product. The originals are tin fabrications. The CSP valve cover is machined from solid and is available anodised in a variety of different colours. The improved product prevents leaks, improves cooling and dampens noise. Of course, it looks great, too! The part in the accompanying photo is a throttle linkage. Previously, they were made by the subcontractor and cost CSP €9 each. Now, they’re made in-house and cost €5! “We make around 500 off, which is unusually high for us. Typically, we make around 10-100 of a part, for stock. So many of our parts were once welded steel fabrications and now they are machined from solid. We also like to scan parts and re-engineer them from the models. It’s a very fast and

effective way to get something new into production. We may invest eventually in a 5-axis Haas, so we can port cylinder heads. That’s the direction we’re headed: more complex parts.” Besides the Type 34, the CSP workshop houses a variety of other VW-powered vehicles, most of which are also used to test products. Under wraps are a couple of Porsche 356s: one in semi-restored state; one a little dusty but very original and, no doubt, very desirable. Adjacent to the Haas CNC machines on what appears to be an enormous flat, steel machine table sits Peter’s latest obsession: a split-screen VW Transporter, which CSP is rebuilding. As yet unpainted, the 1960s vintage ‘Bus’ will eventually sport the same colours as the dragster and will be used as the team support vehicle, as well as serving as an additional test bed for new and prototype parts. Also like the dragster, it will be built to fly. As we stand and admire this latest project Peter hands me a brake bracket: “One more, simple thing we now do that we didn’t do before,” he says. “We engrave part numbers on our products. It doesn’t sound much, but engraving, rather than stamping numbers manually, is far quicker and the end result looks so much more professional. He smiles: “That just about sums it up, really. The Haas machines have helped us to make all of our products better, find new parts to make and generally improve everything we do. Things have worked out nicely.”

MAKE IN INDIA
“Our Focus is on Import Substitution and Indigenisation”
AK Verma Deputy Chairman - CII, Eastern Region Chairman and Managing Director - GRSE
Recent years have undergone a transformation in the manufacturing capability and modernisation of defence technology through indigenisation of arms and ammunitions. Confederation of Indian industries (CII) has always played a pivotal role in it. AK Verma in an exclusive interaction with our Debashri Das shares some facts related with the promotion of indigenization of defence equipment.
What initiatives are taken by CII to promote indigenization of defence industries? CII works closely with the Government on formulation of policies and takes multipronged efforts with all stake holders to enhance business opportunities for the defence industry. To achieve this CII has formed a National Committee on Defence and Sub-Groups to focus on specific areas like Land Systems, Marine Systems, Air Systems, Policies, R&D etc., including a separate Sub-group for Indigenisation. CII regularly organises events where the Govt. Agencies, Defence Forces and Defence
82
www.martupdate.com
Industry are brought together on a common platform. Such events enable the defence industry to show case their capabilities. At the same time, such events also provide opportunity for the defence industries to understand specific requirements and defence and also to get familiar with concerned Govt. Policies. Thus CII make continuous efforts to bring together all stakeholders and to bridge the gaps between them. In all this, the focus is always on import substitution and indigenisation. What effective measures should the industries undertake to make ‘Make in India’ campaign a success? And
how it will help the country to boost up its GDP growth? Industry should focus on acquiring cutting edge technologies required by the defence services. For this to happen, tie-up with leading global players and transfer of technology are required. Also, more investment and focus is required on R&D to develop state of the art technologies indigenously. Towards this end, industry should leverage the capabilities available in our academic institutions. Further, proven strength of our country in the field of ICT should also be leveraged to develop and integrate cutting edge defence systems.
Once indigenous defence industry supplies more hardware to our armed forces, the GDP would increase correspondingly. Thereafter, the defence industry can explore the export market for military hardware, to further boost the GDP. What are the main hurdles in making defence industries self-reliant? How the private sectors can strengthen it? Lack of focus on R&D and consequent lack of cutting edge defence technologies are the main hurdles faced by the defence industry in India. Indian R&D spends are very low compared to US and China.
February 2015
GRSE is continuously making efforts to increase the indigenous content in warship construction. Special high strength steel for making warships is being made in India now. GRSE had participated in the programme for induction of such indigenously made steel in construction of warships.
Private sectors can have tie-ups with leading global players for Transfer of Technology. They can also have Co-Development and CoProduction partnerships with foreign companies, to gradually develop indigenous capabilities in cutting edge defence technologies. Private sector can facilitate FDI in defence and also take advantage of Offsets in defence contracts with foreign companies, to induct and absorb latest technology. How the platform of industrydefence linkage help the industry and defence to come together for a sustainable relationship? One of the aims of IndustryDefence linkage is to make them come together for a sustainable relationship. Industry lacks full awareness of the products and technologies required by the armed forces and indigenisation opportunities available. Industry-Defence linkage helps to bridge these gaps. Further, Defence Procurement Policy of 2011, Revised Offset Guidelines of 2012
February 2015
and Defence Procurement Procedure of 2013 provide the Govt. Policy framework for enhancing indigenisation and indigenous sourcing of defence equipment. The FDI limit in domestic defence industry has also been raised from 26% to 49%, to facilitate transfer of latest technology to Indian industry. However, Indian industry is yet to fully understand and exploit these opportunities. IndustryDefence linkage also addresses such issues, thereby leading to long term sustainable relationships. How the lack of domestic capability to cater to the demand of global primes is hampering the growth of ‘make in India’ in defence? Defence equipment are required to perform reliably in adverse and diverse conditions of service. The quality and workmanship of products made in India need improvement to meet the stringent defence requirements. Further, the Offset Guidelines in Defence Procurement Procedure of 2013 specifies that, the indigenous
content needs to be at least 50%, in cases where an Indian firm is supplying defence equipment in partnership with a global player. This would be possible only if Indian industry can develop the capabilities to absorb and co-develop cutting edge defence technologies, in partnership with global primes.
GRSE makes every effort to procure equipment and systems required for warships from indigenous sources. By such efforts, GRSE has been able to achieve very high indigenous content in the warships constructed at GRSE, which in turn boosts up the defence manufacturing sector.
What are the initiatives taken by GRSE to boost up the defense manufacturing sector?
How we can increase the FDI investment through the indigenization of defense equipments?
GRSE is continuously making efforts to increase the indigenous content in warship construction. As mentioned earlier, special high strength steel for making warships is being made in India now. GRSE had participated in the programme for induction of such indigenously made steel in construction of warships. In fact, the Anti Submarine Warfare stealth Corvette, INS Kamorta built by GRSE, was the first warship constructed using the indigenous steel. To quote another example, GRSE is indigenising the latest technology Rail-less Helicopter Traversing Systems, for installing on warships under construction.
As mentioned earlier, the Offset Guidelines in Defence Procurement Procedure of 2013 specifies that, the indigenous content needs to be at least 50%, in cases where an Indian firm is supplying defence equipment in partnership with a global player. This is the policy framework created by the Govt. to encourage indigenisation. If Indian Industry ties-up with leading global players for co-development and co-production of cutting edge defence technologies, FDI Investment would flow through indigenisation of defence equipment and systems.

Industrie 4.0 On Track To Transform Manufacturing Processes Deepak Achuthashankar, Industry Analyst, Industrial Automation & Process Control – Europe at Frost & Sullivan and MTA2015 conference speaker shares his views on the convergence of digital worlds with industrial manufacturing
A recent joint study by Industrial IP Advantage indicated that when industrial productivity and manufactured exports slowing down with most economies in the region, it has found out that the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) into the Operational Technology (OT) of manufacturing industries will have a very significant global economic impact – to the tune of US$3.88 trillion over the next decade.
Industrie 4.0 – The Concept The primary goals of any manufacturing or production plant are and will be to enhance productivity, reduce time-to-market and decrease overall costs. Today, manufacturers face unprecedented challenges as global economic forces drive competition. These challenges can be overcome when the real time production systems
converge with the cyber world and this convergence will be driven by information and communication technologies (ICT). This grand collaboration is expected to forge innovative automation technologies as well as advanced services. Such innovations would reduce time to market, make production more efficient and flexible – and help manufacturers retain their competitive edge in the global market.
India Steel 2015
We are at the brink of witnessing a new instalment of industrial revolution. Industrie 4.0, though a novel concept that has originated in Germany, is an all-encompassing one that has currently achieved global resonance. Big Data, Internet of Things, Internet of Services and Cyber Security are the four functional pillars of Industrie 4.0. Industrie 4.0 is a platform
Konnect North-East & Beyond
that enables the unification of information amongst participants in the entire value chain – from product inception to design, manufacturing, services and even refurbishment. The end result will be a system in which all processes are completely integrated and would exchange information in real time. This revolution will transform the manufacturing processes in synchronisation

with the speed of change in customer needs – which implies making the production process flexible without taking excess time. Twenty years ago, Asian manufacturers sat at the far end of the supply chain spectrum. Products were designed and proto-typed in the Europe or USA and later shipped to Asia for cheap, volume manufacturing. Now, Asian manufacturing companies, with China leading the way, manage design and manufacturing indigenously. Today, China is striving hard to revamp its manufacturing industry. The country’s 12th Five Year Plan (2011-2015) sets out the objective of reducing dependency on foreign technology and to assume global technology leadership, particularly in high-end equipment manufacturing and next-generation ICT. Industrie 4.0 – Challenges & Opportunities From a vendor standpoint - these challenges could be opportunities to niche companies. I firmly believe Industrie 4.0 is not just a mere new industrial paradigm with regards to
February 2015
technology. Industrie 4.0 will alter the competitive landscape dramatically. The manufacturing sector will soon witness a flock of unheard names offering comprehensive end-to-end ICT solutions. Joint ventures, collaborations, partnerships and Ecosystem would be the market go-to strategies for companies in order to remain competitive. From an End User (not be confused with final human consumers) standpoint - One of the biggest roadblocks that I see is the passive mind set of the industrial community. Most enterprises show reluctance to change or experiment. This may prove to be detrimental in the long run. Apart from this, challenges surrounding awareness and skill gaps are areas that need immediate attention. Looking ahead, the potential financial returns from Industrie 4.0 are arguably the biggest incentive for businesses to move ahead. Industrie 4.0 will have a midas touch in every aspect of technology, or business. Manufacturers must be able to accept and embrace Industrie 4.0 to succeed in the future. If not, then it is quite certain that they will be left behind.

Ex de solutions from Pepperl+Fuchs are essentially flameproof enclosures (Ex d) combined with Ex e enclosures, into which terminals and control elements are installed in line with customer specifications. Special cable ducts ensure that the two enclosures are securely connected. A flange between the enclosures ensures that the Ex e enclosure is protected against explosions and prevents dirt from settling or moisture from penetrating the device. Components for measuring and control technology, or electrical installation technology, that are not specifically designed for areas posing a risk of explosion can be installed in the Ex d enclosure. In addition to isolated barriers or FieldConnex® fieldbus modules
from Pepperl+Fuchs, these components may include DCS and ESD systems or other electrical components made to user specifications. The flameproof enclosure ensures that the non-hazardous devices do not pose a threat to the environment. In an ideal scenario, the Ex d enclosure will be opened as little as possible after initial installation, as special rules under IEC 60079-14 must be observed during opening and closing. The Ex e enclosure underneath contains only components with separate Ex certification. This makes it much easier and safer to access within the system after activation than the Ex d enclosure. Terminals as well as control and monitoring elements can be serviced or replaced at any time, subject to compliance with the relevant provisions.

We all know this problem –
stubborn screw caps on plastic bottles are sometimes very hard to open or cannot be opened at all without using tools. To prevent this, the capping heads which apply these caps in the filling plants and which screw them shut to a defined torque must work precisely and with high repetitive accuracy.

THE LAST LEAF Dear Readers, The Internet of Things (IoT) is creating unprecedented opportunities for both individuals and organizations to gain greater value from networked connections among people, processes, data and things. These connected devices are impacting our lives on a daily basis, changing everything from the way we deliver healthcare to heating our homes to running our manufacturing facilities and other critical infrastructure. Overall, they would increase the operational efficiency, power new business models, and improve quality of life. Today there are 10 billion connected devices but that number is expected to grow exponentially – exceeding 50 billion sensors, objects, and other connected “things” by the year 2020. Spain has come forward to assist in transforming Delhi into a Smart City and a memorandum of understanding (MoU) will be signed shortly between the two countries accordingly. Earlier, US agreed to help India in developing three smart cities in Allahabad, Ajmer and Visakhapatnam. Overall, Smart City is a Rs.7000 crore programme. M2M (Machine to Machine) communication is one of the key elements of this Digital India plan. Soon, the M2M policy framework would be released, that would encompass IoT, referring to interconnection of devices to facilitate automation. Meanwhile, the Centre is ready to use satellites, balloons or drones to fast-forward digital connectivity in India’s rural and remote areas, telecom minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has said at one of the recent Digital India summit. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg met Prasad last year and proposed a pilot project to bridge digital divide with alternate technology such as drones and satellite communications. Then, in December, software giant Microsoft’s global chief executive Satya Nadella offered a pilot project for its ‘White-Fi’ technology to provide Internet connectivity in remote villages of the country. Google has also offered its hot air balloons, under project Loon, for last-mile broadband connectivity. Singapore companies are looking at setting up manufacturing units in India. There are two wafer fabrication plants that are being set up with an overall investment of over $ 10 billion, as a part of ESDM policy. This would create opportunities for the VLSI talent pool of over 20000 available in India. In specific, Karnataka is expected to become home to this vibrant ESDM (Electronic System Design and Manufacturing) ecosystem in the world, catering to the demands of domestic and global markets. With over 85 chip design firms already in Karnataka, it is the leader in chip designing and R & D, and is poised to promote this industry in the state. The domestic ESDM market is expected to reach USD 94 billion in 2015 up from USD 68 billion in 2012.Currently, the domestic production and services lag far behind the demand, owing to the fact that the import of telecom and IT products is being allowed at zero per cent duty under I.T. Agreement signed in 1997. In the field of automotive industry, Chennai-based Royal Enfield (RE), originally a British marque from Redditch, and now owned by Rs.1758crore Eicher group, sold a shade over 3 lakh bikes in 2014, growing 70%, overtaking world leader Harley Davidson’s global sales of 2.67 lakh units. We need your input on any industry news, views and any observation about the industry around you. Your feedback will be useful to us to better inform our reader’s about a better tomorrow. Till then, Happy Technology! Manoj Kabre Member, Editorial Advisory Board
