Smart Factory Vision vs Shopfloor Reality is the first series in PrintMach’s practitioner-led webinar series designed to simplify the journey toward Industry 4.0 and IIoT through real shopfloor understanding, not just theory, but using case studies.
Led by seasoned manufacturing professionals Mr. Pramod Dubbewar and Mr. Vinod Vazhapulli, this series begins with the fundamentals of manufacturing excellence and progressively builds toward advanced smart factory concepts.
Participants gain practical, real-world insights rooted in decades of experience across operations, production, packaging, automation, and manufacturing leadership.
This is not a sales pitch- it is a practical knowledge-sharing platform built on real shopfloor lessons, operational realities, and implementation-focused learning.
