IoT key to better social, digital infrastructure

Creating an ecosystem of the Internet of Things (IoT) will eventually be key to better social and digital infrastructure.New energy solutions, robotics, teleportation, impact of 5G, and challenges in securing connected devices were the key themes in the discussion among industry executives on the final day of the two-day conference.

“With this paperless and presence-less infrastructure using Aadhaar….the fiscal delivery of entitlements and benefits has evolved digitally. India is ready to consume, give it the right connectivity at the right price.” said Arvind Gupta, national technology head of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Several innovative solutions for laying a road map for the digital future were presented during the day.Li-Fi-enabled LED light bulbs can transmit data at speeds much higher than Wi-Fi.

Another innovative application of technology, 3D printing—presentation of objects in three-dimensional form—showcased the power of digital design in the enhancement of product presentation.“3-D Printing, IoT and AI (artificial intelligence) all tell us how to evolve analytics for manufacturing of tomorrow. There is a growing need for complex geometry like 3-D printing in small batch quantities in today’s world,” said Guruprasad Rao, director at Imaginarium India.
