Smart Factory Innovation

Factory of the Future Automation & Capital Goods for Electronics Manufacturing

The Smart Factory Innovation Conference is engaging with driving electronics manufacturing with industrial automation and building the backbone of India’s manufacturing prowess.

Details about the Smart Factory Innovation Conference 2026 will be available here shortly before the show.

In the meantime you may consult the key focus areas discussed at the Smart Factory Innovation Conference 2025 below.


Smart Factory Revolution: Driving Electronics Manufacturing with Industrial Automation Unlocking the Power of Industry 4.0, Robotics, and Connected Systems for Next-Gen Electronics Production
• Transformational Potential – Real-world impact of IoT, AI-driven quality inspection, and robotics on throughput, quality, and flexibility. • Global Best Practices – Insights from leading manufacturing hubs (Germany, Japan, South Korea) and how India can leapfrog. • SME & Tier-2 Adoption – Cost-effective automation strategies for mid-size electronics manufacturers. • Skills & R&D Ecosystem – Building a trained workforce and research partnerships to support high-tech manufacturing. • Government Role – Standards, incentives, and public–private partnerships for Industry 4.0 adoption.

Capital Goods for Electronics: Building the Backbone of India’s Manufacturing Prowess Theme: Future-Ready Equipment and Innovation in Electronics Production Lines
• Strategic Importance – Why capital goods are the foundation of India’s electronics manufacturing capacity. • Geo-political situation advantage – How changing geo-political situation make it an opportune time for India to focus on manufacturing of capital goods and reduce over-reliance on imports from neighbouring countries. • Current Gaps – Mapping the high-value equipment categories currently dominated by imports (SMT lines, AOI, reflow ovens, testing systems). • Domestic Manufacturing Opportunities – Potential for local production, technology transfers, and joint ventures. • Policy & Ecosystem Enablers – Role of PLI, SPECS, and National Capital Goods Policy in creating scale and competitiveness. • Export Potential and Innovation – Positioning Indian capital goods in global markets through quality, cost leadership, and after-sales service.
