Smart Manufacturing Conclave

As the name suggests, Smart Manufacturing Conclave 2019 Awards are given away to organisations in the manufacturing domain that demonstrate innovative use of a particular technology or a combination of technologies for distinct benefits to the stakeholders. This includes deploying a completely new solution or an innovative use of an existing technology to gain a competitive edge, improve operations, become more responsive to customers and partners or, simply, to add to the top or bottom line.
