Future of Manufacturing ñ The Industry 4.0 Era

Our Expertise

To adapt to ever-accelerating shifts in consumer trends, CPG companies need to both speed up product innovation and build flexible, resilient supply chains that can weather disruptions and rapidly bring new products to market. Across every node of the emerging Industry 4.0 supply chain, information is as important as the raw materials and products themselves. The imperative to extract and leverage data across the CPG manufacturing ecosystem necessitates a Factory of the Future.

Wipro’s Factory of the Future framework provides end-to-end digitization that senses demand more effectively and meets that demand with a flexible and robust supply chain enabled by connected products, processes and ecosystem.

Our CPG solutions and consulting services realise this vision of a Factory of the Future through:

An I4.0 maturity assessment that determines business and technological readiness
Operational excellence through AI/ML-based real time insights
Automated material handling efficiencies through robotics, AGVs and AMRs
Digital twin technology to enable better asset health management through causal analysis and predictive/prescriptive capabilities
A yard management solution to automate and optimize vehicle movement within a yard

Our capability across the manufacturing value chain is guided by a platform-centric approach that delivers end-to-end value realisation, while emphasizing a seamless modularity that complements customers’ existing solutions.

What We Do

The Factory of the Future – A New Leap in CPG Manufacturing

I4.0 Maturity Assessment

Within individual CPG companies, the digital capabilities of various plants can vary greatly. Some operate at higher levels of automation and yield better operational performance, while others rely on manual human intervention and paper-based processes.

AI/ML-Based Real-Time Insights

Wipro’s computer vision-based AI/ML solution drives sorting and inspection automation by using cameras—as well as specialised devices that measure factors like moisture, oiliness and thickness—to detect defects.

Automated Materials Handling

Material handling in manufacturing shop floors and warehouses is typically manual, a factor that negatively affects operational performance.

Digital Twin

A digital twin is a virtual representation of a real-world process, product or system. It is a systematic approach to driving operational excellence and benchmarking improvements through simulation, integrating, testing and monitoring.
