In the post pandemic world, automated machines are expected to play a big role in standardization of sectors like fashion, technology and hospitality. There are many interesting innovations in India and abroad in robotics and within no time these smart gadgets and machines are expected to change our lifestyles. As AI and robotics are set to play important an important role in e-retail platforms to keep products sanitary and keep a check on quality in warehouses, India is ready to offer world class robotics with the launch of country’s first Bot Valley in Noida (Uttar Pradesh).
Recently, Addverb Technologies inaugurated INR 75 Crore robots manufacturing facility in 2.5 acre establishment with the aim to make India the capital of global robotics in the world. The massive Bot Valley in Noida is India’s first unit where ‘robots build robots’. Equipped with the best-in-class electronics and mechanical machines, this facility has a capacity to manufacture more than 50,000 Robots of varied types in a year. With a vision to pioneer Human-Robot collaboration and impact human lives positively, the facility inspires innovation and boosts collaboration among the best technopreneurs of the country. With the establishment of this facility, Addverb intends to create a self-sustaining ecosystem for the Robotics industry in India that can also export innovative products and disruptive technology solutions to the world.
The Bot Valley was inaugurated by Amitabh Kant, CEO of NITI Aayog who congratulated the team of Addverb technologies for the state-of-the-art facility and unleashing the power of India on global fronts. Speaking on the occasion, he said, “The past decade witnessed precipitous changes spanning from the way of life to the technologies that emerged. We have entered a nascent paradigm shift (industry 4.0) where technology will help Addverb meet the growing needs and demand of the present business ecosystem. Robotics holds huge potential in streamlining the processes across industries right from retail to healthcare and from warehousing to supply chain. This facility is a benchmark to global standards and the epitome of Atmanirbhar Bharat. It will give a major push to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mission of Make-In-India and position our country as the capital of the global robotics Industry.”
