Smart Advanced Manufacturing and Rapid Transformation Hub – SAMARTH UDYOG
SAMARTH Udyog Bharat 4.0 is an Industry 4.0 initiative of Department of Heavy Industry, Ministry of Heavy Industry & Public Enterprises, Government of India under its scheme on Enhancement of Competitiveness in Indian Capital Goods Sector.
SAMARTH Udyog encompasses manufacturers, vendors and customers as the main stakeholders. The experiential and demonstration centres for Industry 4.0 have been proposed to spread awareness about I4.0 amongst the Indian manufacturing industries. Five centres of I4.0 having a unique identity for spreading awareness and branding have been sanctioned under SAMARTH Udyog. It is emphasized that these centres would have resource sharing, common platform of industry 4.0 and network each other’s resources so that the utilization of resources is maximised.
Five CEFC (Common Engineering Facility Center) Projects are:
- Center for Industry 4.0 (C4i4) Lab Pune
- IITD-AIA Foundation for Smart Manufacturing
- I4.0 India at IISc Factory R & D Platform
- Smart Manufacturing Demo & Development Cell at CMTI
- Industry 4.0 projects at DHI CoE in Advanced Manufacturing Technology, IIT Kharagpur
IIT Delhi being pioneer institute of technology has a vision to contribute to India and the World through excellence in scientific and technical education and research; to serve as a valuable resource for industry and society; and remain a source of pride for all Indians.
Automation Industry Association (AIA) is committed to be a vibrant forum for all automation companies in India spreading knowledge and creating awareness levels that make a vital difference to the global competitiveness of Indian industry
IITD and AIA propose to set up a fully integrated Smart Manufacturing and Learning Facility for discrete and hybrid manufacturing segments such as Automotive, Consumer Durables and Processed Foods, etc. These segments are fast growing and compete with global brands on Innovation, Quality and Customer loyalty. A demo cum experience facility in North India, supported by extensive skill building, MSME consultancy, multi-academia partnerships and research, will give a huge fillip to the competitiveness of Indian Manufacturing. The project will imbibe technologies from Europe, Japan, USA and India.
The Government of India approved Common Engineering Facility Centre (CEFC) to be set up jointly by IIT Delhi and Automation Industry Association (AIA) to establish a Cyber Physical Lab for Smart Manufacturing Research at IIT-Delhi, Hauz Khas campus and a full fledged Cyber Physical Factory at IIT-D Sonepat Campus.
CEFC will extend following services to promote innovation and adoption of Industry 4.0 solutions in order to make Indian industries more globally competitive in Capital Goods Sector:
- Awareness Building,
- Prototyping, Simulation and Testing Services,
- Consulting Services,
- Site Integration Services,
- Education and Training,
- Skills Certification,
- Job work,
- Research

I4.0 India at IISc Factory R & D Platform
Industry 4.0 has been a major initiative worldwide by all major economies. Industry 4.0 initiatives currently focus on industrial automation, and little is focused on integration and empowerment of human labour and affordability. However, there can be at least two concepts of smart: one focused on high levels of industrial automation and minimal human labour, and the other on making traditional, high-labour industry empowered through smart technologies and tools. Industry in India are currently at varied levels of industrialization. We need to explore both these concepts of smart and understand their positive features and trade-off, all the while being sensitive to both performance and cost implications.
Indian MSMEs are the backbone for job creation in manufacturing. Their quality varies from world standard to industry 1.0. They are the highest job creators, but have a low share of economy (unlike those in advanced economies). The awareness and adoption of ‘smart’ are relatively less, but are critical for the MSMEs to move up the value chain. Overall, the following are the major gaps:
- Very little indigenous R&D capability for Industry 4.0, especially for India’s MSMEs.
- No general smart factory set-ups at the R&D scale for industry to develop awareness and hands on understanding before deciding on committing to such facilities.
- Very few awareness & training programmes, especially for advanced students, R&D personnel and industry leaders, in cutting edge knowledge of Industry 4.0.
- A lack of applicable standards, protocols and middleware for integrating a variety of I4.0 devices across vendors.
- Current focus of Industry 4.0 is primarily on automation, and rarely on labour empowerment, where the latter is particularly relevant for human-resource-rich countries.
- Limited or no support for entrepreneurship in supporting Industry 4.0.
The CEFC at IISc, called the I4.0forIndia@IISc (read as ‘I for India at IISc’) is to help reduce these gaps. The offerings at this CEFC are the following:
- Two contrasting platforms for supporting demonstration, exploration and experience of Industry 4.0 technologies & capabilities:
- One showcases what networked automation can offer
- The other centered around smart solutions to empower labour
- Smart tools for legacy m/cs integrated into the platforms;
- Smart, affordable point solutions for MSMEs;
- Demo of trade-offs and benchmarking of these platforms on selected KPIs;
- Training for industry leaders, R&D personnel and advanced students in tomorrow’s Industry 4.0;
- Indigenous research base to support industry in Industry 4.0;
- Support development of indigenous Industry 4.0 Standards, Protocols and Middleware;
- International I4.0 conference & awareness workshops;
- Support for Industry 4.0 startups;
- Policy advice for Industry and Government.

Smart Manufacturing Demo and Development Cell at CMTI
The Demo & Development Cell for Smart Manufacturing Demo at CMTI is conceptualized in the scheme proposed below. The complete system is envisaged to work with minimum human interference, adopting latest sensors, actuators technology in the equipments. The communication and transfer of information between elements of the system with the master controller having higher level of computers and managed by very adaptive PLC, and related software is the brain of the system.
CMTI vision is to Create a platform for Indian manufacturing industries encompassing Machinery OEMs, Sub-System developers, Users, Component manufacturers, Solution developers, startups and so on to explore, experience, experiment, evaluate and adopt Smart Manufacturing / I4.0 technologies with expert assistance from CMTI. Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in particular, will be benefitted from the Cefc services to gear up for full scale I4.0 based production and enhancing their global competitiveness.
Objectives
- Establish a Smart Manufacturing Demo cum Development Centre (Machine Tool centric) as a pilot implementation of SMART MANUFACTURING at cell level (Technology driver) in INDIA
- Showcase for Industry 4.0 concepts, tools & solutions – capabilities, advantages & limitations (Showcase & Experience Centre – Awareness & Propagation)
- Explore limits of unmanned / automated smart production systems, benchmark I4.0 elements / tools, evaluate system security aspects (R&D)
- Tryout & evaluation facility for solution developers (Enabling localization & customization)
- Develop / Acquire expertise on smart implementations (Best practices)
