‘india Should Intensify Its Efforts In Quantum Computing Research’

5G has started disrupting the technology landscape by enabling faster and more reliable communication between devices and systems. India is currently in a fortunate position to possess a resilient and secure digital public infrastructure, which is bolstered by key pillars such as the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), Aadhaar, Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN), Digital Locker, and the National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN). To attain high levels of efficiency in manufacturing, it is crucial to adopt industrial-grade public/private 5G networks, IoT, Edge Computing and cloud-based data analytics, which can effectively enhance operations and promote the transition towards smarter factories (Industry 4.0). With the help of real-time data processing, machine learning, and AI, smart factories can improve quality control, reduce downtime, and increase overall efficiency.
