Due to Globalisation Phenomena and incresing gap in manufacturing infrastructure in India, Automation Business is booming currently.
Total Cost of 'Initial Ownership' and 'Early Implementation' are of serious concern to Project Promoters in the country.
Major Automation Suppliers have not foreseen such increased market demand or industry needs; and, have not proportionately increased the workforce or skill sets to respond to customer needs. Yet, possibly to grab the market share and to reduce overheads and perhaps to 'pass the buck' of future responsibility, several Automation Companies in the country have chosen to commission System Integrators to capitalise the market. It's unsure on the durability of the Principal's relationship with the System Integrator added to the woe of fast M&As.
In the past, companies that installed Taylor MOD platforms, Bailey Infy, MAX systems are left high and dry with no support from 'past suppliers'!
In industry circles and professional associations, managers voice their serious concern on the difficulty of chosing the 'Best Automation Partner' to ensure the anticipated benefits from industrial automation.
Specific inputs and case reports on the above from professionals would be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
