The coal industry plays a pivotal role in India’s energy sector, contributing significantly to power generation and industrial production. As an Assistant Manager in Coal India, working in Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL), I have been actively involved in the maintenance and management of Heavy Earth Moving Machinery (HEMM). My
How real-time simulations and IoT are optimizing factories, reducing waste, and accelerating innovation. Introduction Imagine having a crystal ball that predicts machine failures, tests new production lines in seconds, and slashes energy costs—all before a single physical part is made. This is the power of digital twins, one of
From collision prevention to smart traffic systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) tech is paving the way for smarter mobility. Introduction Imagine a world where your car "talks" to traffic lights, warns you about pedestrians hidden from view, or even negotiates right-of-way with other vehicles. This isn’t science fiction—it’
