We believe the future of manufacturing is neural. By taking inspiration from the biological neural system, can the manufacturing plant adapt to these neural traits and evolve as a biological neural system that responds to external stimuli, heals itself, predicts danger, perceives anomalies and acts in self defence? Let's take a peek into the factory of the future, or what we call at TCS as the factory that feels. Our conception of the neural plant is an autonomous and resilient factory ecosystem where contextual intelligence permeates all aspects of operations, be it planning, production or logistics. What the adaptive and sustainable core draws from are the three C's,connected assets, connected operations and connected workforce. Like a biological system, devices like sensors and vision cameras lend the plant its ability to see,hear and feel. Connected autonomous systems like robots, automatic guided vehicles and drones applied with continuous learning, allowing it to take intelligent decisions across day-to-day operations. But effective data utilization still remains a challenge in today's manufacturing systems. TCS can help answer this complexity by envisioning a network of intelligent systems with edge computing intelligent devices. AI technology and the power of 5G. Experience a centralized and autonomous decision making system like never before. The time to look into the future is now, with zero emissions, zero incidents, zero paper and zero touch.
