The Indo-American Chamber of Commerce (IACC) and NASSCOM Centre of Excellence (CoE) on Monday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to help manufacturers accelerate the adoption of emerging digital technologies and promote Industry 4.0 initiatives at national level.
The MoU was signed by Pankaj Bohra, National Executive Vice President, IACC, and Amit Saluja, Senior Director and Centre Head of NASSCOM CoE.
“The adoption of emerging digital technologies and Industry 4.0 tools will help manufacturing industry to achieve greater efficiency, safety, sustainability, improved quality and standardisation of products for India to emerge as a global manufacturer.
