"With this centre we are inviting businesses across the country to come and get informed and inspired about what the future could look and how to get there," Moret said.
Rockwell Automation India MD Dilip Sawhney said that visitors can experience first hand the synergy of key technology platforms such as network, cyber security, industrial data centre, machine learning as well as augumented reality and virtual reality.
They can also experience scenarios showcasing how a business could fix problems faster with less disruption to production by combining data on machinery faults, production commitments, and availability of parts along with insights into how long it would take a technician to fix the problem with the support of augmented reality, he added.
The company, however, did not disclose the investment for setting up the centre.
