Manoj KumarAs we segue into 2017, the engineering industry looks buoyant against the backdrop of countless innovations that have transformed every sector--tracing the path from ideation to delivery. Game changing innovation in IoT, sensors, 3D printing, and 4D visualization alongside rapid-fire advancement in communication and wireless technologies is fostering an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to product designs.3D CAD modeling has been accelerating the design process for a long time, offering unprecedented insights for architects, engineers, and designers by front-ending the visualization of a product to improve quality. Likewise, today, engineering simulation software is making prototyping easy, allaying complex design challenges and giving wings to new ideas. Enabling an immersive experience, a virtual reality model can help engineers determine accurately the intricate components and spot the flaws and risks to chart the most optimal manufacturing process to be followed.Meanwhile, rapid advances in 3D printing is pushing the envelope across diverse sectors ranging from aviation, automotive, and medicine by enabling rapid prototypes and reduced time to market. The operational excellence factor is further incremented by the multitude of robots, now a vital part of the automated factory scenario. These technologies--from drones and big data to machine learning and BIM--have taken the center-stage in engineering, to radically bring down the time taken to complete engineering projects. As a multitude of disruptive technologies are profoundly impacting every segment, the reinforced software, hardware, mobile and cloud applications will unfold new advantages to heighten the opportunities for collaboration and cost-effectiveness.Together, the trends and technologies are just the tip of the iceberg, as the dexterity of engineering is fostering nanosensors and ushering breakthroughs in medicine, architecture, and agriculture. At this interesting juncture, CIOReview is presenting to you a special edition on engineering technology. This edition features comprehensive solutions for the sector, alongside insightful articles that will help you formulate the most suitable strategies for technology adoption.Let us know your thoughts.
