The manufacturing world is no stranger to technological transformations. Robotics is one such transition that has been in the works for decades and is coming into its own. It is yielding higher revenue and drastically reducing costs for firms globally. Warehouse robotics essentially involves using state-of-the-art automated systems, robotic machines, and software for executing routine, run-of-the-mill tasks in the warehouse. Once looked at with much skepticism, these robotic elements have risen to a position where companies insist on them being an inextricable part of the supply chain. The larger question that many Indian companies remain unconvinced about is the possible benefit that will accrue to their bottom line by using…

Metaverse and Robotics: The foundation of an incredible new world
The world is changing at breakneck speed. The original premise of the world as we know it changed dramatically with the advent of the internet in the early 2000s. Since then, technological revolutions have been unrecognizably altering the fabric of our everyday reality. Now, humanity stands at the inflection point of another civilizational revolution that comes in the avatar of the Metaverse. Metaverse as a gaming concept and phenomenon has existed and thrived since the 90s, but information on the same was limited to a tiny gaming sub-culture clique. It is only now that the Metaverse idea is acquiring more significant social currency. And the theme’s future looks gloriously bright.…

How Metaverse is re-imagining manufacturing processes
Welcome back! With the first two blogs, we got a taste of what Metaverse means and the kind of impact it can have on our lives. Now, we shall turn our attention toward assessing its future implications for manufacturing. Let’s begin. The overlap of Metaverse and manufacturing Metaverse as a medium is still in its infancy, and its true potential remains untapped. For now, Metaverse remains quite popular in gaming circles and is being used regularly for virtual concerts, gigs, conferences, and social networking. However, the real big-picture use-cases, such as in the manufacturing sector, are still to gain wider business currency. However, slowly and steadily, skepticism for Industrial Metaverse…

A leap into the future with Metaverse
From being a mere fantasy to a feasible business proposition, the world of Metaverse has traveled a long way. In the last piece, we learned about the fundamental nature of the Metaverse, the technologies that make it possible, and how we can access it currently. Now, let’s focus more on its impact and how soon to expect it. Billionaire and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg recently drew up a vision and simultaneously teased us with the immense possibilities of the new medium that promises to radically alter the way we live, conduct business, socialize, work and attend to a hundred different everyday affairs of our daily lives. In a letter to…

Inside the Metaverse wonderland: A guide for the beginners
Welcome back to another series of blogs by Rucha Yantra. This time, we have a really exciting and trending topic to share with you. Metaverse. Everyone’s got it on their minds, right? Let’s start then. Any technological revolution alters the boundaries of our reality. But, not in one go. It happens gradually over a period of time. It start only with the inventors who apply the new tech in a confined environment for specific complex applications. But, as the tech grows, investors and entrepreneurs who are ready to take the risks, take it to the broader audience and apply the tech for simpler everyday applications. That’s when the technology really…

Top 5 Advantages of 3D Printing
As discussed in the previous blogs, it can be considered that as far as the latest innovations go, 3D printing can be regarded as one of the most promising technologies of recent times. The additive manufacturing process creates an opportunity to manufacture products in a more unique and controlled way than traditional methods. There are many different types of 3D printing technologies, but the advantages of 3D printing discussed below apply to the whole industry. Rapid Prototyping One of the most significant outcomes of 3D printing is Rapid Prototyping. Rapid prototyping is the capacity to plan, fabricate, and test a product prototype as quickly as possible. Before the 3D printing…

Top applications of 3D Printing
Welcome back! From the last blog to this, we are sure millions of new items must have been produced using 3D Printing, and scores of new ways must have been discovered for utilizing additive manufacturing. Such is the pace of adoption of 3D Printing. Among the hundreds of possible applications, today, we shall look at the most impactful and interesting ones. Here we go! Prototyping Faster. Easier. Inexpensive. When designing new products, don’t you wish the process of making prototypes was fast, easy, and inexpensive. That’s precisely how 3D Printing allows it to be. Unlike traditional manufacturing, which is expensive and takes up a lot of time and effort to…
