A steep rise in competition in the Indian and global industry has meant that there are fewer avenues of differentiation that one could explore and a major part of one’s differentiation strategy is relying on providing the best prices. On course of doing the same, the margins with the industry players have been shrewdly stifled and hence automation of processes seems to be the best way of coming out of the quandary. By reducing the cost incurred on excess manpower, the advent of plant automation applications can bring about considerable improvement in the profitability of the manufacturing organisations. The ‘Process Control and Plant/Industrial Automation’ application, developed by Mantissa Infotech, has passed the test of time and has managed to significantly improve the systems of various esteemed organisations in the industry today. Not only have such manufacturing companies gained because of the lightened burden of manpower costs, the accuracy brought about in their products, through the use of this application, helps them now compete not only locally but also on the global platform.
